This scenic waterfall is the tallest waterfall on Samui and lies in the centre of the island about 12km from Na Thon. The water cascades over ethereal purple rocks, and there’s a great pool for swimming at the base. There are two other waterfalls in the vicinity: a smaller waterfall called Na Muang 2 and the high drop at Nam Tok Wang Saotong. These chutes are situated just north of the ring road near Hua Thanon.

• The water is ideal for a dip so bring extra pair of clothes if you are up for it.
• Bring food and drink and plan plenty of time to take in the sights; you won’t want to leave as eateries are not available.
• Hiking shoes are recommended.

• Drive from Nathon and hike from the jungle trek base point.
