Mo Paeng Waterfall
น้ำตกหมอแปง
A series of small tiered waterfalls west of Pai, where natural rock slides and pools make it a popular spot for backpackers to cool off.
Mo Paeng Waterfall lies about 9 km west of Pai town and belongs to Huai Nam Dang National Park. It is a small waterfall formed by several rock steps. A smooth rock face in the middle works as a natural slide, and there is a swimmable pool below. The flow shrinks in the late dry season, but in the rainy season the water runs fast, so take care. Wear non-slip shoes, as the rocks are slippery. Admission is free. It is about 20 minutes by motorbike from town, and you can stop at Yun Lai Viewpoint and Santichon (the 'Chinese Village') on the way. There are also Lisu villages nearby.
