Sai Yok Noi Waterfall
น้ำตกไทรโยคน้อย
A limestone cascade right beside Highway 323, reachable from the roadside, with swimming pools below. The nearby Sai Yok National Park has a larger waterfall.
Sai Yok Noi Waterfall, also known as Khao Phang Waterfall, lies beside Highway 323, which runs from Kanchanaburi toward the Hellfire Pass. Water cascades down broad limestone steps in tiers, about 15 meters high, and a shallow pool below is good for splashing. Nearby are a parking lot, snack stalls and a market, making it a favorite weekend picnic spot for Thai families. Close by stands a World War II steam locomotive, only about 2 kilometers from Nam Tok station, the terminus of the Death Railway. After taking the train to the terminus, you can walk or take a songthaew to the falls. About 40 kilometers further north is Sai Yok National Park, where the larger Sai Yok Waterfall pours directly into the Khwae Noi River. The park also offers bamboo rafting, river bungalows and the roosting caves of Kitti’s hog-nosed bat, one of the world’s smallest mammals. Sai Yok Noi Waterfall is free. The national park entrance fee for foreigners is about 300 baht (subject to official notices). Getting there: about 1 hour’s drive from Kanchanaburi city, or take the train to Nam Tok station. Note: water flow is low in the dry season, so visiting in the rainy season is more rewarding. Rocks are slippery.
