Interesting facts
1

The waterfall is part of the Prachantakham waterfall cluster, which includes several other nearby cascades fed by the same mountain watershed.

2

The rock formations at the site are primarily composed of sandstone, which has been eroded over time to create the tiered effect.

3

The water flow is highly seasonal, ranging from a gentle trickle in the dry season to a vigorous flow during the monsoon months from June to October.

Overview

Takhro Waterfall is a tiered waterfall located within the Khao Yai National Park area in the Prachantakham District. The waterfall features a rocky stream bed that creates multiple levels of cascading water rather than a single vertical drop. Visitors can walk along the tiered rock formations which become significantly more powerful during the rainy season. The surrounding area is densely forested, providing a natural habitat for local flora and fauna. It serves as a popular local site for wading and picnicking on the flat stone platforms surrounding the water channels. Access to the waterfall involves a short walk through a shaded forest trail from the nearby designated parking area.

Insider tips

Wear water-friendly shoes with good grip as the sandstone rocks can be slippery when wet.

Bring your own food and water, as commercial facilities are limited near the immediate falls.

Check local weather reports before visiting, as heavy rain can cause flash water surges in the stream.

What to avoid

Avoid visiting during the peak of the dry season if you are hoping to see a strong waterfall flow.

Good to know

The site may be temporarily restricted or closed during extreme weather conditions or for annual national park maintenance periods.

Etiquette

Practice carry-in carry-out waste disposal; modest swimwear is expected in respect of local customs.
