Haew Narok Waterfalls

During my trip to Khao Yai, I visited the Haew Narok Waterfalls. They are very close to the entrance. There is a good Car Park and several places selling drinks and food.

Be warned, the 1km walk to the falls is not for the faint hearted, the last 200m is down an old near vertical wooden step arrangement, quite dicey.

All the way down, the air around you was filled with 1000’s of butterflies like the one in the picture, they were almost tame they came that close.

The waterfall is well worth the hike; they drop about 50M in a big gorge and then split off into smaller falls.

Unfortunately, the climb back up the steps is exhausting! Each step feels like it could be your last. One poor Thai woman was in tears, it looked liked she was telling her husband she couldn’t go on. I know how she felt.
