Getting to this waterfall is pretty straightforward. Get to it from Baan Tai and enter on a small road across from Yam’s Kitchen. When you park your scooter, follow the signs, its only about 500 meters through lovely jungle, to the falls.
Once at the falls, you’ll find two pools, a large one to your with and a smaller falls, which you’ll have to climb a small hill to get to and it is more secluded.
There’s a small restaurant here where you can get a bite to eat and a cold drink.
Close from Mae Haad Beach, Wang Sai Waterfall is a delightful spot to cool yourself off in, while walking through some gorgeous green nature surrounding you.
Enter from across the road from Mae Haad Beach. It’s a lovely walk and worthwhile seeing.
Careful of the slippery rocks.
This is the tallest waterfall on the island. It is located in Thansadej National Park and is made up of two parts, the Phaeng Noi (small waterfall), which is easily walkable from the entrance and Phaeng Yai (large waterfall) which is a pretty steep climb for about 250 meters up the mountain.
Like all the waterfalls on Koh Phangan, during dry season, this waterfall may have little or no water falling from it, which can be disappointing. Go during the rainy months and you’ll see the falls, during summer months, it is chancy but still a beautiful hike, nonetheless.
