Krung Ching Waterfalls ( น้ำตกกรุงชิง ) nam tok krung ching
Krung Ching Waterfalls
Krung Ching National Park can be found from Nakhon Si Thammarat by driving on Highway 4016 towards Phrom Lok about 70 kilometers. On Highway 4016 you will pass through Na Reng and Nopphitam. It's best to have your own transport to get there, come on an organized trip, or there is a songthaew (a small truck with a covered back and bench seats for passengers) from Nakhon only it stops at the head of the 10km long road down to the national park itself. You could probably find a taxi to get you up there, and get the taxi's phone number. Even a miscall can tell them to come up and fetch you. Just be $kind$, (as always) but patient because it might take them a while to drive back up. It's a beautiful place. The falls themselves are about 3.7km along a mostly-paved trail and there's a sala (a small area with a roof) to sit and rest, or just take in the scenery, every kilometer or so. The falls actually consist of 7 tiers, with some signs on the main path, but just follow the paths. The seventh tier is the big falls known as Fon Saen Hah. This has a viewing platform, and a natural pool which you can soak or swim in. Bring some food and water as there's nothing much to buy on site.
