The second waterfall is over 4 times higher than its sister at around 80 metres. It is in fact a double fall, both roughly 10 metres wide that can be seen on the road up to the base of the fall. The road up is easy enough, although a little steep, and parking here is free. You will be assailed though by the sellers of , elephant treks, 4X4 jeep treks and trips by jeep up to the falls. But you do have the option of walking up. These same sellers will tell you it takes over half/hour, not true... There are two routes to walk up : 1) by the same concrete road (no cover and very hot the afternoon)that the jeeps take or 2) Through the small village near the elephants and up a dirt road cut through the jungle. This second option is much the better one and takes less than 15 mins. There is one small pool at the base for refreshing yourself and another one 3/400 metres up a track and then across some boulders in the middle of the falls. This is where the vast majority of people seem to stop. I'm told there is a good pool at the very top, but because of rain the track was very slippery and I never made it up there. Because of the heat I would recommend doing this fall in the morning.

Na Muang I Waterfall.

Along with it's sister waterfall no. 2n, Na Muang I is situated on the south side of the island, up a cement road off the route 4169. Very easy to get to, no problem on a scooter or 2WD. The parking lot is on private land and costs 20 baht if you only walk up to the waterfall. If you're for the elephant trek it's free (commerce, huh). From the lot an easy walk through the woods about 300 metres and you're there. Not very spectacular, but nonehteless one of the highest on the island (18 metres).

A small waterfall in the west but also nothing special. The time that i ve been, there was no water but only rocks. To see the waterfall you have to go on October or November when the rain season is in top.

Namuang Waterfall 1 - 18 meter

The second famous waterfall in Ko Samui island after Namuang Waterfall 2 and it is located in the same place. From the main road at the south of the island you must turn left if you comming from Nathon city or right if you comming from Chaweng.

Its a beautiful waterfall with a lot of rocks beside and have green color steps that you can go upstairs to the top. From there you have a wonderful view to the south of the island.

This waterfall is situated to the south-east of the main port town of Nathon on the islands western side. It's quite some trek to reach from the entrance and not as good as Na Muang, although it's most secluded.
