Overview

Nang Rong Waterfall is a multi-tiered waterfall located within the Khao Yai National Park vicinity in Nakhon Nayok province. The waterfall originates from the high mountains of the Khao Yai range, resulting in a continuous flow of water through tiered rock formations. The site features various cascading levels, with the lower pools serving as popular spots for wading and swimming. It is a managed recreational area under the supervision of the local municipality and forestry authorities. The surrounding area consists of lush tropical vegetation providing significant natural shade. Visitors can access multiple levels via established paths alongside the stream. The facility includes designated picnic zones and vendor areas situated near the primary parking lot. Its proximity to the capital makes it a frequent destination for weekend day-trippers.

Pack a change of clothes if you intend to swim in the lower tiered pools.

What to avoid

Avoid swimming in deeper, unmarked sections of the stream during the rainy season due to unpredictable flash flood currents.
