Best Waterfalls to Visit in Thailand’s Rainy Season

 I had not realized when I flew into Thailand during its rainy season that waterfalls would turn out to be the very astonishment of my trip.  

 

I was less worried about wet flip-flops, last-minute modifications of our itinerary, and how to know which tuk-tuk driver would turn on the meter. However, when the skies cleared and the rainforests had to be alive, there was something that came to me; it was the ideal time to waterfall hunt. 

 

Note: Don’t forget to check meet and greet at Luton before your trip and book accordingly.  

 

The rainy season in Thailand, which lasts between June and October, turns the country into a roaring waterfall as they transform into cascades of mist.  

 It is a greenest jungle, the rain and earth smell is in the air, and there are crowds, but they are happily less than usual. Not all of them are that muddy that you might want to keep the excess to the minimum, but here are the waterfalls that you should not miss even a step of the hike. 

Erawan Waterfall in Kanchanaburi 

 

Erawan is a seven- story wonder. Almost the entire day I went up step after step, and swam in the emerald waters, and was chased by naughty fish that like to nibble your toes.  

 

It is a combination of adventure and tranquility that is experienced when the rain goes away and the mist forms over the trees like a painting. 

 

Khao Yai National Park Haew Suwat Waterfall 

This one is dedicated to the movie maniacs, as Haew Suwat, as seen in The Beach, is nestled inside the tropical rainforest which is as old as it is beautiful.  

 

The falls become spectacular during the rainy season and the roar of water falling into the basin that receives them is unimaginable. Come with a poncho and get ready to be soaked! In the most exciting manner, of course. 

 

Mae Ya Waterfall Chiang Mai Province 

Mae Ya is one of the tallest and the most beautiful waterfalls in Thailand and it appears even more wonderful when the monsoon rains add to its power. There I stood, wet and excited, and saw sheets of water tumbling off cliff and rock like strips of silver.
