Thailand has plenty of beautiful waterfalls usually
integrated in the Thai National Parks.
|
Waterfalls
are everywhere in Thailand, they splash down the
limestone rocks, over marvelous cascades, rocks or just bang
down in the open air.
Here you will see wonderful waterfall picture and
waterfall ponds, waterfalls
are a pleasure not only in Thailand but all waterfalls of
the world.
There are
famous
waterfalls like the Niagara Waterfall, the Victoria
Waterfalls, Iguaçu Waterfall and plenty of other among them
the highest waterfalls the Angel Falls, at 979 metres (3212
feet) the world's highest , in Venezuela.
Well and what are people
doing when they don't have great nature waterfall reachable,
they make a backyard waterfall or custom waterfalls.
A great idea is for sure also to create nice garden
waterfalls also called home waterfalls. Indoor waterfalls
adorn many commercial buildings around.
New York
try to make somehow a piece
of art out of it by erecting
four giant waterfalls for
three months this summer in
a public art project
The
waterfalls, including one
that will fall from the
famed Brooklyn Bridge, are
the brainchild of Danish
artist Olafur Eliasson.
"It's about seeing water in
a different way," Eliasson
told a news conference on a
Wednesday in June 2008 the
waterfalls will range in
height from 90 to 120 feet
-- around the same as the
Statue of Liberty from head
to toe.

But there are other
great waterfalls almost nobody ever heard about,
they are located in Thailand and elsewhere. |
Waterfall
at Umphang at a jungle river rafting trip |
Great
landscape waterfalls like the cascades of the Thee Lor Sue Water Fall in the mountain jungle of the
border region between Thailand and Myanmar or
Burma at
Umphang. |
|
Its a very
living waterfall
with a
magic touch. A real great outdoor adventure watching
this pond less waterfall jumping over the limestone
rock.
Thailand has incredible
attractive waterfalls set into a tropical
environment and there are many, from the
border to Laos in the north to the border to
Malaysia in the far south. Most waterfalls are with
ponds at the lower end, the right place to have a
splash or do some swimming to beat the heat. Thai
waterfalls are not among the
tallest waterfall the world but very close as you
can see with the
Umphang Thee Lor Sue Rock Water Fall above, but one
thing is for sure they are among the most |

beautiful
waterfalls in the world, just keep on reading and
you will be convinced.
Sai Yok
waterfall around 3 hours west of Bangkok
at
Kanchanaburi is within a beautiful
landscape setting. It's a real living fan
waterfall since there is always enough
water pouring down the limestone rock and
people enjoy the splendid basin.
On the other
side of the road is the River Kwai. Its
not one of the magic waterfalls but real
pretty.

Sai Yok Waterfall |

Erawan Waterfall

Erawan Waterfall lower level |
One of
the most attractive Thailand and worldwide waterfall
is the
Erawan Waterfall in Kanchanaburi Province
about 3 hours drive west of Bangkok.
Kanchanaburi became
famous with David Leans film -The Bridge over the
River Kwai- and this bridge is not the only
attraction in the area.
Plenty of waterfalls,
like the Erawan Waterfall and
Sai Yok Waterfall,
plus huge reservoirs in the mountain jungle towards
the 3 pagoda pass on the boundary to Myanmar or
Burma are a very welcome day trip or weekend short
holiday for stressed Bankokians.
Bangkok and Erawan have
some relation
through the Erawan elephant sometime the waterfall
is also called elephant waterfall. The Erawan waterfall is embedded into the
Erawan national park and the authorities ask for a
entrance fee, since the entrance fee has been
reduced from Baht 400,- to Baht 200,- , as it always
was before.
Now it makes sense again to visit this great
falls, actually the Erawan falls jump over 7 levels,
one better than the other. Erawan waterfalls are
not just some waterfall fountains its a real huge
beautiful waterfall national park.

Namtok Pra Charoen
Waterfall Mae Sot Thailand at dry season |
-
One of the most beautiful cascade Waterfall
in Thailand is
the Namtok Pra Charoen Waterfall a few km south of Mae Sot.
This
is a real spectacular 97-tiered Thai waterfall
around 35 kilometers just beside Highway 1090 on the
way from Mae Sot to Umphang in the south. Watch out
for to sign post.
If you like,
it is
possible to climb up the cascades of the waterfall
but its quite dangerous since the limestone is
extremely slippery and if you loose grip you are
gone, nothing to hold on. As you can see in
this waterfall pictures its real great
outdoor.
In the waterfall pond you can do a splash and
cool down. |

Waterfalls in Thailand are plenty, everywhere on the sign

version, is it a garden or backyard |
Koh Samui
Waterfall Pool

in a
villa near the beach in Phuket or the great setting
of a indoor waterfalls.
Also on the islands like Phuket and Koh Samui |
There is a great variety
on waterfalls in Thailand. Not
the highest waterfalls are around but the Nam Tok Ngao south
of Ranong Thailand comes down from quite a high distance,
maybe about 200 - 300 m, its a typical horsetail waterfall,
very good visible from the Ranong - Phuket road.
There are beautiful landscape waterfalls in
many golf clubs and living waterfalls with small
fishes in the ponds.
Outdoor waterfall are
practically everywhere in Thailand, some with pond, some pond
less. As you can see at the Sai Yok Waterfall and
one of the most famous waterfalls the Erawan
Waterfall plus Chat Trakan Waterfall.
