Paeng Falls (or Pang / Paeng Falls on Phangan) is only one of several attractions inside the official Than Sadet National Park, which is located approximately in the center of the island, a little closer to Thong Sale. This is just on the way to the main road connecting Tong Salu and Chaloklum. Park takes quite a large space in the mountainous area of the island where they grow rare plant species, there are three waterfalls, fonts and one quite good Viewpoint “House of Power” overlooking the south-western part of Phangan, on Samui and on the islands of Angthong Marina Park. In general, a leisurely visit this place is worth planning so that you have at least 1-2 free hours and water supply.

Phaeng Waterfall
For a long time I was going to this waterfall, for some reason, everything seemed to me that before him for a long time to stomp and inspiration for trekking is not all did not come. Therefore, almost the last day of stay Pangane, I still jumped in here in the evening with such a calculation that “I’ll see what I have time.” In fact, everything turned out to be very compact and near. The whole walk took me no more than an hour. Need to note that I ran everywhere, for me there is a special Buzz – ride along the path with the roots. Immediately remember childhood for where we were not only worn, and for what trees-fences only did not climb. Again, even sport is like this – cross-country running and highlands. I do not pretend to be an athlete, but when you need to have time before dark, why not.
So, the first waterfall Pang Noi (Phaeng Noi) is literally 5 minutes walk from the parking. It is well viewed and quite photogenic looks even from the place where Stella is installed with the name. But you can come closer and climb on the rocks around water that many tourists do.

Immediately begin the jungle and these are the roots

Until the next waterfall Pang Yai (Phaeng Yai) to be walk another 100 meters upstream, you just need a little walk along the path without any difficulties and difficult turns. In my arrival sign with a pointer to the waterfall was broken (or removed) so it was not at all obvious that there was something behind the trees interesting. To see Pang Yai himself, you need to walk a bit stones, which I did.

He is to the right of the stairs
The third waterfall (Tham Nam Rak) is even higher and to it already you need to climb the concrete stairs. Along the way, you will pass a fork, where the path goes right to the waterfall, and to the left – to the observation deck Dom Sila. From the fork to the waterfall, you need to go literally a couple more. minutes, and the waterfall itself is quite small. But there is font in which you can splash. However, such fonts across the riverbed, and differ only in size and the number of people who got to them. Throughout route, where are these 3 waterfalls, you are unlikely to stay in alone Leave your thoughts swim naked or in a cozy alone – there are many people on the trail during the season.

Viewpoint Dom Sila
On the way back after the third waterfall I recommend to go to viewpoint. From a fork to climb about 10 minutes, no more, but the road is not very. More precisely, not even a road, not a staircase, but natural trail, I mean the path with intricate terrain and different levels the complexities. However, if you have no health problems, then it’s hard almost will not. But there, upstairs, offers a stunning view of the entire southern Phangan. Nice place to relax a bit and sit on the edge, think about the eternal. Amazing i went there almost by 6 pm, and there were people sitting, and, unlike me, they not in a hurry and they were clearly not embarrassed by the prospect of going down back in the dark.

In good weather, Samui will be seen.
Information to visit
Entrance to the park and parking is free, from 8 am to 5 in the evening, then the park is closed. At the entrance I recommend buy more water because it’s hot and humid in the jungle, and if you gather your strength and climb onto a viewpoint, then water is needed required You can swim in all waters, but do not forget when this about the rules of decency in dress – the place is visited and Thai tourists including. If you really want to release the beast and relax in the nude style, then you should climb to the end of the trail, concrete and dirt. When it ends, after ten minutes jumps on the rocks will begin the font, where the onlookers do not come with cameras and where they like to hang out local expats who are drum, what are you wearing.

P.S. Really nothing special, yes. But the waterfalls on Phangan – this is not his horse. Therefore, when compared with popular Paradise and Wang Sai waterfalls, then Paeng with his viewpoint best.
