Huai Mae Khamin Waterfall

"Absolutely amazing. 7 spectacular waterfalls. Emerald water. No crowds - we passed only 3 couples for the whole 2 hours we were there. The waterfalls are easily accessible with minimal uphills and down hills along well maintained paths and walkways. The whole experience is totally enchanting We visited the Erawan waterfalls yesterday. The waterfalls and experience was so much better here. If you only have time to visit one of these Huay Mae Khamin waterfalls should be your choice based on our experience in mid June."

"There seem to be a debate going on, whether this waterfall is better than Erawan. It is completely different, in my opinion, you can't compare the two.
While Erawan is a perfect tourist attraction, Huay Mae Khamin is a more natural sight. To me, it felt like walking around in a real life jungle's book ☺️
The area around the falls are camping places, so, to people who love the outdoors, I would recommend to spend a few days here. The facilities seemed cleaned and organized.

In Aug 2025, levels 5-7 are not open to the public. The other levels are well worth to see, the footpaths are maintained and all parts are easily accessible. The height of the individual steps on the stairs are tiny, so even older people or very young kids can walk them easily.
When I visited (low season, rainy season) there were no other visitors. It was fantastic to see everything without crowds. It was very peaceful to listen to the sound of the water and the rainforest around, I was in awe!

The water of the falls seemed clear and refreshing. The water is a bit colder than in Erawan. You can rent life jackets on Level 2 and swim at designated areas.

Time to walk around: 2 hours (normal pace), if combined with swimming you can make a half or even a whole day activity out of it.

Other things to do:
There are interpretive walking paths in the forest, to learn about the surroundings. I did walk a bit on one of them but I got a bit spooked by the noises of animal activity and after around 500 meters, I had to turn around and leave. Can't say how well maintained is this area of the park. The little segment I tried was okay and had some info on plants, animals and sink holes.

The reason why this waterfall is not very touristic is because of its location. Most tourists, I imagine, come from Kanchanaburi. It's 102 km from there, so it is far.
I drove my rented motorbike, it was a difficult and long drive, took me 2.5 hours to get here.

Until you reach the Erawan waterfall, the road is easy to drive. The last 35 km from there is the difficult bit. From here, you're driving on steep hills (6-12%) with a lot of curves through the jungle. It's better to navigate with a motorcycle and smaller cars maybe.
The road surface changes a few times on this segment. I will add a caution here: I have noticed breakage lines on the asphalt, a few holes, slippery bits and rough patches, so please drive carefully.
The wildlife from the surrounding forest also can be unpredictable, another reason to go slowly. A monkey ran across me once, a snake, a caterpillar and several birds and butterfly. Luckily I managed to avoid collision with all of the animals.

In a summary, if you are spending some days in Kanchanaburi and have your own transport and time, and you are a confident and safe driver - visit this beautiful waterfall.
Entrance fee: 300 baht for foreigners (60 for Thais) plus parking fee. I think it's cash only pay (not sure)"
