Hike to Krungching Waterfall

Krungching Waterfall is the largest and most famous waterfall in Khao Luang National Park and one that you should definitely not miss while you are in Nakhon Si Thammarat. The waterfall has 7 tiers and you can hike on a 3.7 km long nature trail to all of them. The prettiest tier of them all is the second tier where you will be able to witness the stunning amount of water flowing off a high cliff with a 100-meter drop creating a wall of splashes and rain. It really is quite a sight to behold.

The trail itself is not particularly difficult with a steady and easy climb most of the way until you reach the fourth tier where you will have to go down a series of steep stairs to get to the second-tier viewpoint. Getting down is one thing but getting back up that steep staircase on your way back can be a challenge so be sure to spend as long as you need at the second-tier viewpoint and rest up before heading back. The whole trail should take about 2 hours both ways and anyone should be able to hike the trail with no problem.
