Than Prawet Waterfall

The water cascades from limestone rocks through multiple tiers surrounded by dense tropical forest with native plants and various bird species.

The waterfall served as a vital water source for local communities during the early settlement period of Ban Tai in the 20th century.

The site holds traditional ceremonies during Thai New Year where locals gather to honor water spirits and perform ritual offerings.

Visitors can access the waterfall by following a marked trail from the main parking area, with optimal viewing conditions during the monsoon season.

Local fishermen maintain a traditional practice of catching small fish in the pools at the base of the waterfall using handmade bamboo traps.
