 NAMUANG WATERFALL-Koh
Samui. by mamasan69
The first one on our list was Namuang waterfall. We passed by the elephant trekking to arrive near the site. After parking our scooter (20bht each), we hiked for about a half hour through some amazing jungle. It was a hot a very humid climb all the way to the top, but it was well worth it. There is a pathway that you can follow as there is no guide. However, a little care is needed in a few areas as the rocks are slick and you have to climb "ladders" in places to get to the top.
Second on the list was the Hin Lat Waterfall. It was a fairly long scooter ride to find this site, but it was a good way to see other parts of the island. There is no visible path for the climb to see this waterfall and this can make the climb a little interesting at times. Again there was no guide to see these falls. There was more rock climbing than jungle for this waterfall, but all in all it wasn't too bad. The final result was a little disappointing as the falls were quite small, the water levels were low.
These were the only two waterfalls that I managed to get to this time, but the experience and photos I got were great. Leave a Comment Directions: NAMUANG- Near the elephant trekking, on the southern interior part of the island. HIN LAT- On the upper, northwest side of the island not too far from the pier.

 CLIMBING TO WATERFALL-Koh
Samui. by mamasan69
The water level was down we found out later, so the falls at the top were nothing more than a little stream. On one of my next trips to Koh Samui I will try and see this one again, and get a better idea of what it should look like.
****Be aware there is no real path to follow on these falls that we could find, so you pretty well climb until you can't go any further up the rocks.*** Leave a Comment Directions: NAMUANG- Near the elephant trekking, on the southern interior part of the island.

 SECOND WATERFALL-Koh
Samui. by mamasan69
The fresh water that is bottled on Koh Samui, we were told, comes from this water source. The hike was good excercise, but the falls when we visited, were kind of a waste.

Hold on, 'cause it's a bumpy ride! Especially when the elephants cross the first stream! Wow, what an experience, though. The 2 person seats that are perched on the elephants' backs make for a great viewpoint. If you are planning a trip, this should be one of the top activities on your list, especially if you won't be making it to northern Thailand, as it's a great opportunity to see the lush vegitation in this region. Just be sure to avoid the lower branches of trees, because this is a jungle and the bugs (ants especially) crawling around on these branches are huge! Leave a Comment Address: In the middle of the island 12 km south of Na ThonDirections: From Na Thon, take road south to center of island. From Chaweng or Lamai, head south then turn west about 2 km out of Lamai. This is a regular tourist attraction, so directions are readily accessible.

Namuang is an impressive 30 m high waterfall and it's a popular destination for picnics and swimming. It's situated 5 km from the circular coast road (motorway).
Hin Lat is smaller waterfall than Namuang and less interesting too. Both waterfalls are at their best in December and January. Leave a Comment
