I dont know how this name came from but Krating means Bull !! Krating waterfall or Nam Tok Krathing is one of many beautiful waterfalls in Chanthaburi. The fall is just about in the area of Khao Khitchakut National Park. There are clear ponds where swimming is possible and there are 13 levels of the fall with nature trails cutting though all level. This fall looked beautiful from the distance , we saw the top level from distance, it nearly at the top of mountain, not much water at the few first levels. When we got there it's just quiet!!! the fall was just belong to us, no one there. We tried to climb up 13 levels, thats the intention but well I reached only 2 levels next time will be more.
