Also the another way to get there is by walking through it.



The Falls, is very dangerous, especially for people not familiar with the place! You can swim in the river but don’t go through or jump on the falls because of some dangerous rock formation under the falls.

There are a lot of stone cottage in the area you can relax while eating and the ambiance of the place is so nature friendly, a lot of birds and trees.

My review in the Falls itself, is a bit Dangerous but also a nice place to visit after you visit Mt. Samat and get through Zipline.
