Ton Chong Fa Waterfall
น้ำตกโตนช่องฟ้า
Khao Lak's most popular rainforest waterfall, with five tiers cascading down a mountain stream and deep pools for swimming.
Ton Chong Fa Waterfall is part of Khao Lak-Lam Ru National Park. From the parking lot, a walk up the gully takes 15 to 20 minutes to reach the first and second tiers. Continuing upward, there are five tiers in total, and the highest takes about an hour. Along the way you cross rainforest and wade across streams on stepping stones, and you may see butterflies and lizards. The deep pool at the bottom is good for splashing about. Admission for foreigners is about THB 100, and opening hours are roughly 08:00 to 16:30. It is about 10 km from Khao Lak town, and you can rent a motorbike or charter a car. Wear non-slip shoes, and watch for flash floods in the rainy season.
