Na Muang 1
An eighteen-metre fall over purple rock, five minutes' walk from the car park, with a pool deep enough to swim in when the river is up.
Open≈ 0.9 km
The big one: eighty metres of water down a rock face, twenty to twenty-five minutes uphill from the first fall. Dry to a trickle in March and April.
Na Muang 2 is the big one — eighty metres of water down a rock face in the middle of the jungle — and it costs a twenty-to-twenty-five minute climb from the first fall. That walk is the reason it is quiet even in high season.
The path leaves from beyond Na Muang 1 and climbs steadily on roots, wet rock and a few rope-assisted steps. At the top the fall drops into a shallow basin you can stand under when the flow allows. Go after rain and in the morning, and give yourself two hours for the round trip.
Proper shoes. The last section is wet rock and roots.
Proper shoes, not flip-flops: the last section is wet rock. In heavy rain the crossing points can rise fast — turn back rather than wade.
