Pha Kluai Mai Waterfall
น้ำตกผากล้วยไม้
The end point of a popular trail in the park. Wild orchids grow on the cliff face, and it is about a 1 km walk along the stream.
Pha Kluai Mai Waterfall gets its name from the many wild orchids growing on its cliff face. The waterfall is about 15 m high. Its drop is modest, but the forest atmosphere is lovely. From the Pha Kluai Mai campsite, a gentle trail of about 1.2 km follows the Lam Takhong stream, where you often spot gibbons, hornbills and giant squirrels. Continuing about 3 km on foot brings you to Haew Suwat Waterfall (a guide is required). Leeches appear in the rainy season, so wear leech socks. The waterfall lies between the visitor center and Haew Suwat Waterfall, about 10 minutes' drive away.
