The largest waterfall in Koh Samui. Elephants and Na Muang waterfalls on Koh Samui

▣ Waterfalls on Koh Samui.

There are many reasons why you should visit this heavenly place, as And one of the main ones - beautiful waterfalls. There are eleven of them on the island in total. You can, of course, set a goal and visit them all, but this will be a waste of time and effort.

Here we will tell you about the most picturesque, beloved by both tourists and residents of Samui.

Some of these natural wonders can be reached without hassle - by rented car or taxi, which the natives call “sogteon”. But there are also hard-to-reach waterfalls on Samui that are difficult or even impossible to get to.

Waterfalls on the map of Koh Samui

You also need to take into account the season in which your visit to Koh Samui falls. From January to April, dry weather reigns here, there is no rain, so the waterfalls dry up, transforming from powerful streams of water into inconspicuous streams.

Na Mueang 1

It is also called Purple Falls. Also, this waterfall can rightfully be called royal, since it is often visited by members of the royal family. It falls from a height of 18 meters into a pool quite suitable for swimming. True, it is clearly not worth going here during the dry months; there is a high probability of being disappointed in what you see.

I'm glad that you can drive up almost to the waterfall itself. It is proposed to leave the car in the parking lot (it is paid, it costs 20 baht per vehicle). It's very close on foot. There is a market for tourists where you can have a snack and buy souvenirs.

In order to visit the Purple Falls, it is not at all necessary to rent a car or motorcycle. You can take a taxi that runs between Nathon town and Lamai beach. In this case, you will need to walk about 1.5 km to the waterfall.

Na Mueang 2

It is located within the Namuang Park area. The waterfall is incredibly beautiful: about 80 meters high (a record for Samui) and multi-tiered. For the pleasure of seeing it you will have to pay 50 baht. Also be prepared for additional expenses on the ascent and descent to the waterfall.

▣ Na Mueang 2 waterfall is located on the territory amusement park Namuang.

You will be offered a choice of a jeep or an elephant. If you want to save money, you can get to the place on your own, it will take 15-20 minutes. But keep in mind that climbing under the hot rays of the sun can be tiring.

You shouldn’t go to these places just for the sake of the waterfall (this advice is especially relevant in the dry season); it’s better to combine a visit to the waterfall with an entertaining excursion in the park. There is a free parking lot near it, where you can leave your car and then follow the information on the signs.

Hinlad (Hinlad Waterfall)

Hinlad Falls will probably remind you of a mountain stream. The water here flows around giant boulders and forms picturesque small lakes at different levels. At the foot there is a backwater where many fish live; on the other side, to Buddhist temple and walking paths, you can cross the bridge.

It is located near Nai Thon Beach, in an area called Lipa Noi. Finding the waterfall will not be difficult: first we move along route 4169, and then turn onto route 4172 and move to the end. The most important thing here is not to miss the necessary pointer.

What to do when you come to this waterfall? Lots of options:

1. Take photographs for memory;
2. Climb the boulders;
3. Visit the temple and garden (if you wish, and meditate);
4. Feed the fish or ride a majestic elephant.

Tarmin Waterfall

On Koh Samui you will hear several sonorous names for these places: “Buddha’s Secret Garden”, “Magic Garden and Tarnim Waterfall”, and “Heavenly Garden”.

Of course, the inhabitants of the island exaggerated a little when they called a small stream in the garden such a big word. But while visiting the famous Buddhist rock garden, don’t forget to take a photo of Tarnim at the same time.

But we don’t recommend going solely for the waterfall.

Siva Tara and the Love Stone (Valentine Stone)

These attractions are located in the central part of the beach called Lamai. Broken here small park, where tourists come to admire the waterfall (by the way, it is artificial, so it looks more like a stream), sit by the love stone and take a few shots from the height of the observation deck.

The bravest ones go bungee riding. There are not too many visitors. After purchasing a ticket, do not forget to go to a cozy restaurant in the park. Its employees offer something refreshing to all lucky entry ticket holders.

Khowyai

You may also come across another name - Khow Yai. To visit it, you need to head to the south of the island. You will have to leave the car 200 meters before your destination (do not believe the sign that says that the walk is only 30 meters).

▣ Khowyai Waterfall Samui.

Entrance costs 20 baht. Many tourists are impressed by the Khowyai waterfall. It is high, consists of several cascades, along the way there are gazebos for relaxation and other waterfalls, and at the top there is a statue of a beautiful girl.

If you have time, then from Khowyai do not turn back to the ring road, but continue the journey to the Sky Garden with Tarnim and Paradise Park.

What you need to know when visiting waterfalls

Whichever waterfall you choose to visit, it will be located in the jungle. Exceptions are very rare. This means incredibly high humidity and profuse sweating.

It is best to go on an excursion in the morning, before the heat reaches its peak.

Remember to protect your skin with special sun creams and insect bite repellents.

Thai Koh Samui It is interesting for tourists not only for its beaches and Buddhist temples, but also for many other places that deserve attention. The real wonders of nature are the waterfalls, which paradise island eleven. However, not all Samui waterfalls are equally beautiful and impressive. Some of them are definitely worth visiting, others are very promoted and overcrowded with tourists, and others are so insignificant that they are not even worth wasting your time on.

It should be kept in mind that best impression The waterfalls are produced during and immediately after the rainy season, that is, from October to February. At this time they are most full of water and demonstrate all their greatness. With the onset of heat, the flow of water flowing from the mountains decreases, and that beauty and power no longer exist. Some waterfalls are almost dry, which gives tourists the impression that they have been deceived, and instead of the expected powerful flow, they are offered a pathetic stream. Let's look at the most significant waterfalls of the island.

Na Muang-1

Closer to the southern part of Samui there are two waterfalls with the same name - Na Muang-1 and Na Muang-2, located next to each other. These are the most famous waterfalls of the island. "Namuang" is translated from Thai as "purple". This is the color of the stones on which the waterfalls flow, which is why the water appears purple.

Namuang 1 waterfall is less popular than its famous brother. It is located high in the mountains, but it takes quite a while to get to it. close distance you can follow the road that runs from Maenam to Lamai. Part of the path is easily covered by bike or car, which can be left near the durian plantation or in the parking lot for 20 baht. Next, the path lies on foot through the jungle, but this walk is very pleasant and educational. The reward at the end of the journey will be a cool mass of water falling noisily from the rocky heights.

The first Namuang waterfall is lower, 18 m high. The flow of water from one ledge falls into a pool, which serves as a natural bath for local Thais. Some tourists also decide to dive into the cool waters. You should be very careful as there may be sharp stones at the bottom. In addition, at the very foot of the waterfall the current is quite strong. At a distance from the foot, where the flow is calmer and the water is warmer, local children swim.

Near the waterfall right below open air The Thais have set up a cafe where you can buy fresh fruit and simple dishes, the price of which is about 100 baht. Those interested are offered a ride through the jungle on an elephant, adults for 700 baht, children for 400. Visiting this attraction is free, but a parking fee is charged. You can get quite close to the waterfall by transport. The one who is not afraid of long hiking, can reach minibus, plying between the city of Nathon and. In this case, from the stop to the waterfall you will have to cover a path of 1.5 km.

Na Muang-2

Compared to its younger brother, Namuang 2 waterfall is more impressive - its height is 80 m. The picturesque multi-stage waterfall has several pools, but only one, located on the lower level, is suitable for swimming. Tourists, who are not afraid of the rather cool water temperature of 15-17 °C, enjoy water procedures. Real extreme sports enthusiasts go up to the observation deck located above the waterfall. You can get to it along a narrow path that goes sharply upward from the lower level. The reward for a half-hour climb will be a stunning panorama of the island and a seething stream flowing down at your very feet.

Unlike the first waterfall, there is a fee to visit Namuang 2 - 50 baht, but parking is free. From the parking lot to the waterfall, the distance of 1 km can be covered on foot or by taking a “taxi” in the form of a jeep for 100 baht per person.

There are regular excursions to the waterfall, so there are always a lot of tourists here. On the vast territory at its foot there is a real Safari Park. Tourists can enjoy elephant rides and even a small zoo, which hosts shows with animals - crocodiles, snakes, baby elephants, monkeys and birds.

Hin Lad Waterfall

The three-tiered Hin Lad Falls are not as popular as Namuang Falls. It is small and not so easy to get to, but the walk through the jungle itself brings pleasure. The natural beauty of this place is attractive, which can be enjoyed in silence, without any fuss.

The waterfall is located near Nathon. The easiest way to get to it is by bike, car or taxi. The road from Nathon to Lipa Noi is good and smooth. After 1 km of the road there will be an intersection with signs: to the right - Immigration Samui, to the left - Hin Lad Waterfall. After driving about another kilometer, travelers see that the road ends here. And then there is hiking two kilometers long through real jungle.

But first, it doesn’t hurt to visit the Hin Lad Temple, the path to which runs through a picturesque bridge. On the territory there is a pagoda, a statue of a sitting Buddha and a cozy gazebo for meditation. Returning along the bridge to the starting point, you should climb the stone steps and then follow the path with signs towards the waterfall.

This trail itself is a real excursion. It always stretches along the river. Along the way there are plants with exotic fruits, many of which are familiar in appearance. Of genuine interest is how they grow in the wild. There are trees with jackfruits, thickets of bananas, and bunches of rambutans and longkongs hanging right above your head. It's hard to resist trying the juicy fruit. The narrow, winding path runs through roots and rocks, so you should carefully watch your step.

Having reached their goal, tourists experience true unity with nature. You can swim after the road at the foot of the waterfall or continue up to take a closer look. Those who have overcome the peak discover a secret oasis - the Hin Lad waterfall falls on the left, a smaller waterfall on the right, and between them sandy beach. Involuntarily there is a feeling lost world, which has not yet been touched by the tourist rush.

Na Muang Waterfall on Samui is such a 2 in 1 place. Here you can admire the waterfall and ride elephants. However, entry is free. First of all, we went to meet the elephants. All elephants not involved in riding tourists stand on a short chain and can at most take a step back and a step forward.

They are waiting for tourists to ride them for an additional fee (700 baht for adults, 400 for children). We had already ridden the elephants and came just to look at and pet them.

And how cool it was that a baby elephant was recently born here. So cool and playful, he was a star and won the hearts of everyone present. All the attention and almost all the bananas went to him. We even forgot about the waterfalls, squeezing his prickly little face.

And he ran, rubbed his back against the barriers and exposed himself to everyone so that people could pet him. Finally, he fell into a trough of water, which was no longer his size, and floundered in the water, amusing us all. Elephants simply love water. And the size of the bathtub, in my opinion, is not important to them.

It’s cramped, but in the water


Look how I fit in


Water treatments ends with the still inept pouring of oneself from the trunk

I didn’t even want to leave him. Having made sure that the baby elephant’s life here is at least fun and gets a portion of kind attention every day, which cannot be said about adult elephants, we went down to the waterfall.

Take care of animals!

Na Muang Waterfall

It’s very convenient that everything is close here. From the elephants along a path through rows of stalls with food and souvenirs we went down to one of the Samui waterfalls.

On the way we noticed a plump lizard without a tail with silky skin

And here he is. Na Muang Waterfall. Almost twenty meters of a powerful seething stream of water!

Na Muang waterfall on Koh Samui - a waterfall without water

Just kidding, of course, we didn’t see the long-awaited sight on Koh Samui.

Where can I order a transfer from the airport?

We use the service - KiwiTaxi
We ordered a taxi online and paid by card. We were met at the airport with a sign with our name on it. We were taken to the hotel in a comfortable car. You've already talked about your experience in this article.

So where is it, the waterfall? On the fly again. It's a bummer in Phuket and Koh Samui. And I love waterfalls so much. Despite the fact that it still rains here in the summer months, the waterfall flows in a thin stream. You should come to Na Muang waterfall in winter, in December, January, when there is a lot of water here after the rainy season.

But we weren't upset at all. After the baby elephant there was no need for a waterfall anymore. So much positive energy from the cute little baby that there was not an ounce of regret.

How to get there

The Na Muang waterfall and elephant farm are located in the south of the island, near Lamai Beach. On public transport(red songthaews) you can drive to the turnoff from the main road and then walk in about 15 minutes. There are signs everywhere. The map at the end of the article shows the point where the turn to the Na Mueang 1 complex is and how to go further. If you go with your own vehicle, there is a small paid parking lot (50 baht for a car, 20 for a bike).

How much does it cost to get to Songthaew?

These prices are valid until 18:00. Do not ask the driver for the price, just sit down silently, as if you know everything. Pay strictly without change, since giving change to a white person is beneath the dignity of His Majesty the Samui Driver

• From Lamai drive 10 minutes towards Nathon, fare 40 baht per person
• From Chaweng you can get to NaMuang Waterfall via Lamai without transfers. The fare will cost 60 baht
• From Maenam and Bophut you can only get to Na Muang Waterfall with a transfer to Chaweng. The fare will cost 50 + 60 = 110 baht per person one way.
• From Nathon go towards Lamai. Travel 60 THB.

PS: if the driver demands 100 baht per person, as happens every second time, say that you are not a tourist, you have lived here for a long time and know the prices.

Hello friends! To be honest, I don’t really want to write about, and about Thailand in general, where I am this time. It seems that hundreds of gigs of photos and videos are stored on the hard drive, but I’m too lazy to even open those folders.

Most likely this is due to the fact that there were too many people on Samui this year, and every bush on the island is described in blogs and posted on YouTube. I already told you once about the sights of Samui, which especially sank into my soul. This is Wat Kunaram where I received and. There is one more attraction that I simply cannot help but write about. So, today’s post is about nostalgia about my most favorite place in Thailand - Na Muang 2 Waterfall on Samui.

Many people write that the waterfalls on Koh Samui are not of particular interest, because they are small and not very spectacular. This may be true, but the 80-meter Namuang 2 waterfall is a slight exception to this rule. He is sweet and dear to me. There is a special energy there, you can sit there for hours, look at the water and dream.

I’ve been to Namuang many times, but the trip that took place the day before leaving Koh Samui gave me the most vivid impressions. Then my friends and I climbed to the very top, where breathtaking views open up.

There you feel free and especially alive. And now let me tell you how to avoid crowds of tourists, where it is better to swim in the clearest water, how to climb to the very top and get the absolute maximum from visiting Namuang 2.

What to take with you to Namuang Falls 2:

— Drinking Water!!!
— Sneakers or closed shoes
— Sun hat
— Sunscreen
- Swimsuit
- Towel
— Food (fruits), if you want to stay longer at the top of the waterfall.

When to go to Namuang Waterfall 2

The waterfall looks best during the rainy season from October to December. During this period there is a lot of water in it, and the flow rate is very high. In February-March there is not much water in Namuang, and sometimes some tiers of the waterfall dry up completely. In April, Namuang 2 on Koh Samui comes alive again.

To get the most vivid impressions, it is best to come to the waterfall in the morning or in the evening, at this time groups of tourists have not yet reached those places and do not have time to spoil the impression. Also, the higher you go, the more likely you are to enjoy the beauty of Thai nature in peace and solitude.

Detailed instructions. How to get to Namuang Falls and reach the top for free.

1. You can take an excursion and go to the waterfall as part of an organized group. I strongly do not recommend doing this, because the groups do not take you along the most interesting route, with a guide you will not climb to the top, you will not have time to swim where you would like, and also have a picnic or just sit and look at the breathtaking views from the mountain Koh Samui island as much as your heart desires.

2. Thus, there is no need to buy excursions or organized tours. I think most people these days try to rent bikes in Thailand and get around on them. It's cheaper than taking excursions, and certainly much more interesting. You can read about how I learned to drive a motorcycle in Thailand for three years in the article at the link: .

3. Namuang 2 waterfall is easy to get to on your own. It is located near Lamai Beach. You need to drive from Lamai towards Nathon, pass a Muslim village, and after about 3 km there will be an inconspicuous entrance on the right with the words “Waterfall 2” written on it. We drive all the way, on the right there will be free parking and idly strolling elephants. You can park your motorcycle and walk 3 km to the waterfall (about 30 minutes downhill to the entrance and another 30 minutes to the top).

On the right is free parking.

But if you, like me, are still lazy, you can move on. In front of the gate where the passage is closed, turn right and go uphill to the end:

Here, before the barrier, turn right
We are going to the mountains along a picturesque road

If you don’t want to walk or ride a bike up the mountain (there are quite steep ascents and descents that can frighten an inexperienced driver), you can pay 100 baht, and they will take you to the entrance to Namuang Falls in a jeep, wait until you have seen enough and swim, then then they will take you back to the parking lot.

4. There are two entrances to the area through which you can walk to the waterfall. The one below is free, but the one higher up near the Tropical garden is paid. We have 2 options:

— Place the bike near the entrance to Tropical garden. Keep in mind that this particular entrance to Namuang 2 Falls requires an entrance fee. Ticket price 50 baht per person. Often we simply parked the bike near the entrance to the Tropical Garden and went down to the free entrance to the waterfall, but recently the park workers standing at the entrance to the Tropical Garden began to demand a bribe or swear threateningly if you parked the bike near them and did not pay money. Therefore, for thrifty citizens there is another option.

— Place the bike near the free entrance to the waterfall, but not where the jeeps that carry tourists are, but on the left in the bushes. Just do not leave valuables in motorbikes. On the day of our last visit, a friend’s helmet attached to his bike was cut off, and our old flip-flops were pulled out of the trunk.

5. Next we have to walk up. If you are going to reach the top, be sure to wear sneakers or any other closed shoes. Walking in the mountains in shale is difficult and dangerous, because the stones are slippery; at best, you can lose the shale, and at worst, you can lose yourself.

You will have to walk on slippery stones

So, let's follow the sign:

6. We walk along the bridge

7. After 5 minutes we arrive at the first font and observation deck. All organized tourist groups usually hang out here and take pictures, so there are a lot of people in this place.

We can also swim, take a photo, after which we go around the waterfall on the left and go up.

8. Soon we come to the second tier of the waterfall. There are fewer people here, the water flows in small streams. You can climb over slippery stones into another plunge pool.

9. Go left again. We find ourselves in one of my favorite places, Namuang Waterfall on Koh Samui. There are usually almost no people here, only rare travelers come to take a couple of photos.

10. We don’t stop there. We go to the left side of the waterfall, go down a little, find a path in the bushes and go up through the jungle for about 10-15 minutes. There are ropes along the path, the road is slippery and quite inclined.

Road to the top

11. Finally, we, sweaty and tired (or cheerful and cheerful), come out of the jungle into the light and see mountains covered in front of us tropical forest, the sea, as well as the waterfall itself, flowing from above and hiding far below. You can swim there or go even higher. The journey from the entrance to the top without stopping will take about half an hour.

12. We pass even higher, we see a stick.

We can go even further. The guys and I found the most magnificent pool. The water is icy. This is just what you need in the Samui heat. We swam in the pool, and Misha even managed to jump. The plunge pool is deep, you can only stand or sit along the edges on the cobblestones, so if you don’t know how to swim, it’s better not to go there.

13. You can go a little higher. The guys swam there, but I didn’t go further than the font, because the impressions from the beauty I saw were already more than enough.

You can go down the other side of the waterfall. If you climbed on the left, then you can go down on the right (if you stand facing the waterfall). On that path more people, there are no viewing platforms, but the descent is easier.

After 15 minutes we go to the cafe and water park. The cost of sliding down the hill is 200 baht for half an hour. Toilets are paid, cost 10 baht, but if you return to the free parking lot, which is described in point 2, you can find it near it free toilet. Along the way there are various figures and statues.

You can live in a tent. I don't know how much pleasure costs

Elephant riding in Koh Samui (Elephant Safari at Namuang Safari Park).

Namuang Falls (aka Waterfall 2) is part of the Namuang Safari Park. There you can ride elephants and watch various shows: Elephant Show (15 minutes), Monkey Show (15 minutes). The disadvantage of riding elephants on Samui is that there is a bench on the back of the elephant, that is, the rider does not sit on the elephant itself, but on a bench that sways fervently during the safari. The bench seats two people; if necessary, you can seat two adults and a child. The mahout sits on the elephant's neck and directs the process.

An elephant's ears are soft and hairy. Before touching them, you must give the elephant money. The animal gently removes the bills from his hands with his trunk, after which he carefully hands the money to the driver.

The peak of popularity of this entertainment falls on new year holidays. In December-January, the number of people wishing to ride elephants is many times greater than the number of mammals capable of riding people. But at the end of March-April 2014, neither elephants nor people were particularly visible in the park.

The Thais even decorated a Christmas tree to celebrate the gathering of so many tourists from Russia :)

Safari opening hours:

from 9-00 am to 5-00 pm.

Prices for elephant riding in Koh Samui:

1 hour – adults – 1200 baht/ children - 700 baht
30 minutes - adults 700 baht/ children 600 baht

In general, if you are in Samui, be sure to check out Namuang 2 waterfall. There is also an 18-meter high Namuang 1 waterfall nearby, but I have never been there, so I don’t know what it is like.

Full waterfalls to you! Sincerely, Mila Demenkova.

There are eleven waterfalls on Koh Samui, but not all of them deserve your attention, since the road to some of them is quite difficult, and they themselves are nothing special. In this article I will talk about the most spectacular waterfalls of Samui, which I highly recommend visiting, especially during the wet season from May to December. It is at this time that the waterfalls reach the peak of their beauty.

This waterfall is quite popular among tourists. It has a height of 18 meters. The water flows down in a seething stream along an almost vertical cliff and forms a small lake below. Near the waterfall there is a cafe, shop and souvenir shops. You can leave a car or motorbike in the parking lot near the waterfall, but it is paid (50 baht for a car, 20 baht for a motorbike). From the parking lot to the waterfall itself it takes about 5 minutes to walk. Entrance to the waterfall is free.

In this case, you will get out on the main road and you will need to walk about one and a half kilometers deep into the island. See the exact location of Na Muang 1 waterfall on the map.

This waterfall is even more popular among tourists than the previous one. It consists of several levels and water flows from it in cascades. The higher you go, the more levels you will see. The road to the top leads through the jungle, but don't be afraid of it. Tourists have long laid a path here with ropes stretched along it. The height of the Na Muang 2 waterfall is 80 meters and it is the highest on the island. It was this waterfall that I liked most on Koh Samui. There are two ways to enter the waterfall: through paid and free entrance. The paid entrance is located near the Tropical garden; a little lower you can enter the waterfall territory for free.

There is a cafe and a shop next to the waterfall. There is also a water park here; a slide ride costs 200 baht for half an hour.

Next, the road to the waterfall goes through the jungle. The walk will take about 30 minutes. Tourists have created a trail through the jungle, so the journey is not difficult.
