Than Sadet Waterfall
น้ำตกธารเสด็จ
A stream waterfall in Than Sadet National Park. King Rama V visited several times and left his mark in stone, and the stream ends at a beach on the east coast.
The name Than Sadet means Stream of the Royal Visit. Thai kings, including Rama V, Rama VII and Rama IX, came here from 1888 onward, and royal letters are carved into the boulders beside the stream, making it a historic site on the island. The stream drops over the rocks in tiers, forming several waterfalls and pools where you can splash about. A 30-minute walk downstream brings you to Than Sadet Beach, which has small restaurants and can be combined with nearby Thongnai Bay. Water flow depends heavily on the season, and in the dry season the falls may be little more than a trickle. The drive from Thong Sala along the east road takes about 40 minutes, and the final stretch is steep.
