Dat Fa waterfall, Limestone waterfall in Lamphun Province, Thailand.
Dat Fa Waterfall is a multi-tiered cascade flowing through limestone rock formations in Lamphun with natural pools at different levels. The water displays green and blue hues and the mineral-rich environment creates colorful layers throughout the falls.
The waterfall sits within the ancient region of Lamphun which has been home to significant temples and monuments from historic Thai kingdoms. The area served as an important settlement and spiritual center across many centuries.
Local people view the waterfall as a spiritual place where visitors often leave small offerings near the water. The flowing water is considered a source of natural energy and renewal in everyday spiritual practices.
The walk to the waterfall is short but sturdy shoes with good grip are needed since the path crosses wet and slippery rocks. The water flow is strongest from September through November after the rainy season.
The limestone formation has developed stalactites and stalagmites along the water flow over time, which naturally filter and enrich the pools. These mineral structures slowly change shape and add to the distinctive appearance visitors find there.
