Elephants and Na Muang waterfalls on Koh Samui. Let's see what elephants and waterfalls there are
Hello friends! To be honest, I don’t really want to write about, and about Thailand in general, where I am this time. It seems that hundreds of gigs of photos and videos are stored on the hard drive, but I’m too lazy to even open those folders.
Most likely this is due to the fact that there were too many people on Samui this year, and every bush on the island is described in blogs and posted on YouTube. I already told you once about the sights of Samui, which especially sank into my soul. This is Wat Kunaram where I received and. There is one more attraction that I simply cannot help but write about. So, today’s post is a nostalgia post about my favorite place in Thailand - Na Muang 2 Waterfall on Samui.
Many people write that the waterfalls on Koh Samui are not of particular interest, because they are small and not very spectacular. This may be true, but the 80-meter Namuang 2 waterfall is a slight exception to this rule. He is sweet and dear to me. There is a special energy there, you can sit there for hours, look at the water and dream.
I’ve been to Namuang many times, but the trip that took place the day before leaving Koh Samui gave me the most vivid impressions. Then my friends and I climbed to the very top, where breathtaking views open up.
There you feel free and especially alive. And now let me tell you how to avoid crowds of tourists, where it is better to swim in the clearest water, how to climb to the very top and get the absolute maximum from visiting Namuang 2.
What to take with you to Namuang Falls 2:
— Drinking Water!!!
— Sneakers or closed shoes
— Sun hat
- Sunscreen
- Swimsuit
- Towel
— Food (fruits), if you want to stay longer at the top of the waterfall.
When to go to Namuang Waterfall 2
The waterfall looks best during the rainy season from October to December. During this period there is a lot of water in it, and the flow rate is very high. In February-March there is not much water in Namuang, and sometimes some tiers of the waterfall dry up completely. In April, Namuang 2 on Koh Samui comes alive again.
To get the most vivid impressions, it is best to come to the waterfall in the morning or in the evening, at this time groups of tourists have not yet reached those places and do not have time to spoil the impression. Also, the higher you go, the more likely you are to enjoy the beauty of Thai nature in peace and solitude.
Mikhail Besstrashny Detailed instructions. How to get to Namuang Falls and reach the top for free.
1. You can take an excursion and go to the waterfall as part of an organized group. I strongly do not recommend doing this, because the groups do not take you along the most interesting route, with a guide you will not climb to the top, you will not have time to swim where you would like, and also have a picnic or just sit and look at the breathtaking views from the mountain Koh Samui island as much as your heart desires.
2. So, there is no need to buy excursions or organized tours. I think most people these days try to rent bikes in Thailand and get around on them. It's cheaper than taking excursions, and certainly much more interesting. You can read about how I learned to drive a motorcycle in Thailand for three years in the article at the link: .
3. Namuang 2 waterfall is easy to get to on your own. It is located near Lamai Beach. You need to drive from Lamai towards Nathon, pass a Muslim village, and after about 3 km there will be an inconspicuous entrance on the right with the words “Waterfall 2” written on it. We drive all the way, on the right there will be free parking and idly strolling elephants. You can park your motorcycle and walk 3 km to the waterfall (about 30 minutes downhill to the entrance and another 30 minutes to the top).
On the right is free parking. But if you, like me, are still lazy, you can move on. In front of the gate where the passage is closed, turn right and go uphill to the end:
Here, before the barrier, turn right 
We are going to the mountains along a picturesque road If you don’t want to walk or ride a bike up the mountain (there are quite steep ascents and descents that can frighten an inexperienced driver), you can pay 100 baht, and they will take you to the entrance to Namuang Falls in a jeep, wait until you have seen enough and swim, then then they will take you back to the parking lot.
A jeep carries screaming tourists to a waterfall 4. There are two entrances to the area through which you can walk to the waterfall. The one below is free, but the one higher up near the Tropical garden is paid. We have 2 options:
— Place the bike near the entrance to Tropical garden. Keep in mind that this particular entrance to Namuang 2 Falls requires an entrance fee. Ticket price 50 baht per person. Often we simply parked the bike near the entrance to the Tropical Garden and went down to the free entrance to the waterfall, but recently the park workers standing at the entrance to the Tropical Garden began to demand a bribe or swear threateningly if you parked the bike near them and did not pay money. Therefore, for thrifty citizens there is another option.
— Place the bike near the free entrance to the waterfall, but not where the jeeps that carry tourists are, but on the left in the bushes. Just do not leave valuables in motorbikes. On the day of our last visit, a friend’s helmet attached to his bike was cut off, and our old flip-flops were pulled out of the trunk.
Paid entrance to Tropical garden 
Paid entrance and advertising of the water park 5. Next we have to walk up. If you are going to reach the top, be sure to wear sneakers or any other closed shoes. Walking in the mountains in shale is difficult and dangerous, because the stones are slippery; at best, you can lose the shale, and at worst, you can lose yourself.
You will have to walk on slippery stones So, let's follow the sign:
6. We walk along the bridge
7. After 5 minutes we arrive at the first font and observation deck. All organized tourist groups usually hang out here and take pictures, so there are a lot of people in this place.
We can also swim, take a photo, after which we go around the waterfall on the left and go up.
8. Soon we come to the second tier of the waterfall. There are fewer people here, the water flows in small streams. You can climb over slippery stones into another plunge pool.
9. Go left again. We get to one of my favorite places, Namuang Waterfall on Koh Samui. There are usually almost no people here, only rare travelers come to take a couple of photos.
10. We don’t stop there. We go to the left side of the waterfall, go down a little, find a path in the bushes and go up through the jungle for about 10-15 minutes. There are ropes along the path, the road is slippery and quite inclined.
Road to the top 11. Finally, we, sweaty and tired (or cheerful and cheerful), come out of the jungle into the light and see in front of us mountains covered with tropical forest, the sea, as well as the waterfall itself, flowing from above and hiding far below. You can swim there or go even higher. The journey from the entrance to the top without stopping will take about half an hour.
Observation deck with natural bath 
An observation deck and me in a blue dress somewhere in the distance 12. We pass even higher, we see a stick.
We can go even further. The guys and I found the most magnificent pool. The water is icy. This is just what you need in the Samui heat. We swam in the pool, and Misha even managed to jump. The plunge pool is deep, you can only stand or sit along the edges on the cobblestones, so if you don’t know how to swim, it’s better not to go there.
13. You can go a little higher. The guys swam there, but I didn’t go further than the font, because the impressions from the beauty I saw were already more than enough.
You can go down the other side of the waterfall. If you went up on the left, then you can go down on the right (if you stand facing the waterfall). There are more people on that trail, there are no viewing platforms, but the descent is easier.
After 15 minutes we go to the cafe and water park. The cost of sliding down the hill is 200 baht for half an hour. Toilets are paid, cost 10 baht, but if you return to the free parking lot, which is described in point 2, you can find a free toilet next to it. Along the way there are various figures and statues.
You can live in a tent. I don't know how much pleasure costs 
Elephant riding in Koh Samui (Elephant Safari at Namuang Safari Park).
Namuang Falls (aka Waterfall 2) is part of the Namuang Safari Park. There you can ride elephants and watch various shows: Elephant Show (15 minutes), Monkey Show (15 minutes). The downside of riding elephants on Samui is that there is a bench on the elephant’s back, that is, the rider sits not on the elephant itself, but on a bench that sways fervently during the safari. The bench seats two people; if necessary, you can seat two adults and a child. The mahout sits on the elephant's neck and directs the process.
An elephant's ears are soft and hairy. Before touching them, you must give the elephant money. The animal gently removes the bills from his hands with his trunk, after which he carefully hands the money to the driver. 
The peak popularity of this entertainment occurs during the New Year holidays. In December-January, the number of people wishing to ride elephants is many times greater than the number of mammals capable of riding people. But at the end of March-April 2014, neither elephants nor people were particularly visible in the park.

Queue for elephant safari at the end of December 
The Thais even decorated a Christmas tree to celebrate the gathering of so many tourists from Russia :) Safari opening hours:
from 9-00 am to 5-00 pm.
Prices for elephant riding in Koh Samui:
1 hour – adults – 1200 baht/ children - 700 baht
30 minutes - adults 700 baht/ children 600 baht
In general, if you are in Samui, be sure to check out Namuang 2 waterfall. There is also an 18-meter high Namuang 1 waterfall nearby, but I have never been there, so I don’t know what it is like.
Full waterfalls to you! Sincerely, Mila Demenkova.

▣ Waterfalls on Koh Samui.
There are many reasons why it is worth visiting such a heavenly place as And one of the main ones is the beautiful waterfalls. There are eleven of them on the island in total. You can, of course, set a goal and visit them all, but this will be a waste of time and effort.
Here we will tell you about the most picturesque, beloved by both tourists and residents of Samui.
Some of these natural wonders can be reached without hassle - by rented car or taxi, which the natives call “sogteon”. But there are also hard-to-reach waterfalls on Samui that are difficult or even impossible to get to.
Waterfalls on the map of Koh Samui
You also need to take into account the season in which your visit to Koh Samui falls. From January to April, dry weather reigns here, there is no rain, so the waterfalls dry up, transforming from powerful streams of water into inconspicuous streams.
Na Mueang 1
It is also called Purple Falls. Also, this waterfall can rightfully be called royal, since it is often visited by members of the royal family. It falls from a height of 18 meters into a pool quite suitable for swimming. True, it is clearly not worth going here during the dry months; there is a high probability of being disappointed in what you see.
I'm glad that you can drive up almost to the waterfall itself. It is proposed to leave the car in the parking lot (it is paid, it costs 20 baht per vehicle). It's very close on foot. There is a market for tourists where you can have a snack and buy souvenirs.
In order to visit the Purple Falls, it is not at all necessary to rent a car or motorcycle. You can take a taxi that runs between Nathon town and Lamai beach. In this case, you will need to walk about 1.5 km to the waterfall.
Na Mueang 2
It is located within the Namuang Park area. The waterfall is incredibly beautiful: about 80 meters high (a record for Samui) and multi-tiered. For the pleasure of seeing it you will have to pay 50 baht. Also be prepared for additional expenses on the ascent and descent to the waterfall.
▣ Na Mueang 2 waterfall is located on the territory of the Namuang amusement park. You will be offered a choice of a jeep or an elephant. If you want to save money, you can get to the place on your own, it will take 15-20 minutes. But keep in mind that climbing under the hot rays of the sun can be tiring.
You shouldn’t go to these places just for the sake of the waterfall (this advice is especially relevant in the dry season); it’s better to combine a visit to the waterfall with an entertaining excursion in the park. There is a free parking lot near it, where you can leave your car and then follow the information on the signs.
Hinlad (Hinlad Waterfall)
Hinlad Falls will probably remind you of a mountain stream. The water here flows around giant boulders and forms picturesque small lakes at different levels. At the foot there is a backwater where many fish live; you can cross over a bridge to the other side, to a Buddhist temple and walking paths.
It is located near Nai Thon Beach, in an area called Lipa Noi. Finding the waterfall will not be difficult: first we move along route 4169, and then turn onto route 4172 and move to the end. The most important thing here is not to miss the necessary pointer.
What to do when you come to this waterfall? Lots of options:
- Take photographs for memory;
- Climb the boulders;
- Visit the temple and garden (if you wish, and meditate);
- Feed the fish or ride a majestic elephant.
Tarmin Waterfall
On Koh Samui you will hear several sonorous names for these places: “Buddha’s Secret Garden”, “Magic Garden and Tarnim Waterfall”, and also “Heavenly Garden”.
Of course, the inhabitants of the island exaggerated a little when they called a small stream in the garden such a big word. But while visiting the famous Buddhist rock garden, don’t forget to take a photo of Tarnim at the same time.
But we don’t recommend going solely for the waterfall.
Siva Tara and the Love Stone (Valentine Stone)
These attractions are located in the central part of the beach called Lamai. There is a small park here where tourists come to admire the waterfall (by the way, it is artificial, so it looks more like a stream), sit by the love stone and take a few shots from the observation deck.
The bravest ones go bungee riding. There are not too many visitors. After purchasing a ticket, do not forget to go to a cozy restaurant in the park. Its staff treats all lucky entry ticket holders to something refreshing.
Khowyai
You may also come across another name - Khow Yai. To visit it, you need to head to the south of the island. You will have to leave the car 200 meters before your destination (do not believe the sign that says that the walk is only 30 meters).
▣ Khowyai Waterfall Samui. Entrance costs 20 baht. Many tourists are impressed by the Khowyai waterfall. It is high, consists of several cascades, along the way there are gazebos for relaxation and other waterfalls, and at the top there is a statue of a beautiful girl.
If you have time, then from Khowyai do not turn back to the ring road, but continue the journey to the Sky Garden with Tarnim and Paradise Park.
What you need to know when visiting waterfalls
Whichever waterfall you choose to visit, it will be located in the jungle. Exceptions are very rare. This means incredibly high humidity and profuse sweating.
It is best to go on an excursion in the morning, before the heat reaches its peak.
Remember to protect your skin with special sun creams and insect bite repellents.
If you need to go to the waterfall, then go to the right of the gazebo and go up the stairs (there will be a sign there). I made a little mistake and first went along the river bed, this was not a very good idea, because I had to walk for several hours.
Path to the waterfall
Realizing that I wouldn’t make it along the riverbed even in the evening, I returned back to the very beginning to the first sign. Looking around, I saw a staircase. Having given a symbolic 5 baht to the donation box and climbed the stairs, I found myself in a real jungle. The path branches several times, but it seemed to me that all the paths still converge and run parallel. In any case, you should stick to the river and walk along it. Along the way you will meet trees with huge roots, vines, palm trees, and dense tropical vegetation. Many more reports mentioned spiders, snakes and lizards, but I didn't meet any! But I didn’t really want this, and so, having read horror stories, I walked, looking intently at my feet and shying away from every branch, in case there was a poisonous spider there.
Hin Lad Waterfall
A Thai man sits near the waterfall, selling water and some drinks. The price is reasonable, although he brought his box here by hand. You can also swim here. As far as I understand, in dry times it is easy to approach the waterfall; there are photographs where people are standing right next to them and this waterfall is falling on them. But after the rains it is very problematic to do this, the riverbed is very wide and deep.
However, I wanted to get closer, so on the right, just where the Thai was sitting, I walked further along the stones and path. There's a small stone bag there, right through it. It may well be that people use this route outside of the rainy season, I don’t know. Just a few more minutes and only a bowl of bubbling water separates you from the waterfall. Now you can’t pass it, but again in the dry season it seems to be shallow. It’s a little difficult to photograph here, because water dust instantly wets the lens glass.
Closer view of Hin Lad waterfall
lost World
But you want to get even closer, right? Therefore, without stopping, we climb into places where people usually don’t climb anymore. Most likely they don’t climb, because they walk through that very bowl into the ford, take pictures right next to the waterfall, and it seems like the job is done. In general, I again took a right and climbed up. There is a large stone there, surrounded by a vine, so I moved along it, nothing complicated, just a couple of meters.
And then a secret oasis was revealed to me! Hin Lad falls on the left, another small waterfall on the right, and a sandy beach between them. I am not exaggerating at all; it was precisely the feeling of a lost world that arose in me then. I spent at least an hour there, wandering from stone to stone... True, I also tried to get closer to Khin Lad, and I almost succeeded. It’s good to come here with friends with a tent for a couple of days and have a picnic.
Where is the Hin Lad waterfall and how to get there
Entrance to the waterfall is free.
The easiest way to come here is by bike or car. You can also take a minibus and get to the intersection where Immigration Samui is located. From here it is a 1.4 km walk to the entrance to the temple territory and the path to the waterfall.
At the very entrance, where the platform and gazebo are, you need to turn to the right of the riverbed, see the concrete staircase and follow it. Next, just follow the path along the river, not paying attention to the forks. Walk for 20-40 minutes depending on speed. It is impossible to pass the waterfall; the path ends there. If you saw some kind of waterfall, but the path went further, it is not Hin Lad, it is just a cascade.
On Koh Samui, waterfalls are an integral part of the excursion program around the island. And it’s not surprising, because it’s so great to cool off under cool streams of water in the sultry heat. As a rule, most tourists and visitors go to Namuang and Namuang 2 waterfalls. For our first visit, we chose a less touristy option. And they were right, because... had a lot of fun! Having made an exciting trip, we learned how many exotic fruits grow and learned how to climb rocks along a mountain river. So, the first of the waterfalls we visited on Koh Samui is Hin Lad Waterfall.
How to get to Hin Lad waterfall on Koh Samui
The road to the Hin Lad waterfall consists of two parts. The first stage is by transport (rented bike, car, taxi). By the way, the road here, unlike most paths to other waterfalls on Samui, is not difficult, without ups and downs, very straight and even! If you drive from Nathon towards Lipa Noi, after 1 km there will be an intersection: to the right - to the hospital and Immigration, to the left - to our Hin Lad waterfall. After 1 km the road ends. This is where the second part of the journey begins - a 2 km long journey through the jungle. But, before that, you can look into the Hin Lad temple, which I will talk about later.
For orientation, Hin Lad Waterfall on the map of Koh Samui:
Turn from the roundabout towards the Hin Lad waterfall 
Parking in front of the road to the waterfall 
Entrance to the path to the waterfall under the “sun” 
TempleHinLad(Wat Hin Lad)
Before visiting the waterfall, people usually visit the Hin Lad Temple. You can get to it by walking from the parking lot to the left across the bridge (by the way, in front of the entrance you can buy food for a lot of money for Thailand - 20 baht, and feed the fish). The grounds are set in the jungle and consist of the temple itself, a Buddhist stupa (or pagoda), a Buddha statue and a reflection area with benches. Each of the latter has some kind of spell written on it. We don’t understand Thai, but we are convinced that these are phrases that promise happiness and joy :)
Cross the bridge and you will reach the Hin Lad Temple. 
Monk at Hin Lad Temple 
Buddha in the jungle 
Spells Jungle trail to Hin Lad waterfall and exotic fruits
This is where the fun begins, especially if it’s your first time in the jungle. After the temple, having crossed the bridge back, you need to climb the steps (there are signs), there will be all kinds of signs, they say, pay 2 baht for visiting the waterfall, etc. I'm not against it, but the legality of this is questionable. Let's say you live near a tree that is 150 years old, but neither you nor your ancestors have anything to do with its origin. But, just in case, write a sign: “to go to the tree, put 3 rubles.” Yes, it doesn’t seem like much money at all, but this is some kind of extortion. On the other hand, people walk past the house of these Thais and disturb the peace. In general, it’s up to you, pay if you want, or not! The road to the waterfall is 2 km. We didn’t know this, so we walked along, enjoying nature, with the confidence that we were about to see this miracle of nature.
Along the way we came across so many wild fruits, so the trail itself is a whole excursion! Let me introduce you to the plants that we discovered on the way to the Hin Lad waterfall.
Even on the temple grounds, we took a fancy to a growing tree with jackfruits:
Jackfruit beauties And when we walked along the path to the Khin Lad waterfall, we gradually became acquainted with other representatives of tasty plants. Starting with bananas:
Green bananas How long have you been thinking about what this is? Either peppercorns or cinnamon!
This is how peppercorns grow (and maybe cinnamon too) But if a durian falls on your head, with its thorns, there will be trouble! Not only does it stink, it’s also dangerous!
The king of Thai fruits is durian. Snake fruit (herring) - it has so many spines that we, not armed with special items, didn’t even take at least one thing to try!
Snake fruit (salak) 
Salak (snake fruit) Mangosteens taste like my favorite fruit in Thailand, but there is too much waste from them, and your hands will end up in juice before you eat it. In the photo it is not ripe at all, they eat purple fruits.
Favorite fruit: mangosteen Rambutans, these little hairy creatures here have not yet ripened, but we saw how they grow:
Hairy Rambutans Longkong, also a popular fruit in Thailand:
Longkong Here, once again, we saw a fruit that, although it grows everywhere in Thailand, there is not a lot of information about it. Santol (aka katon), a video about him will soon be released on our YouTube channel.
Santol, aka Cato We couldn’t find out the name of this fruit, it’s similar to jaboticaba, which is extremely rare in Southeast Asia (usually black), but here it’s red. If anyone recognizes what kind of exotic fruit it is, write in the comments, I would like to solve this riddle :)
Red jaboticaba??? 
What kind of fruit? In addition to fruits, we also met insects:
The path itself is slightly winding, narrow, passes through stones and tree roots, so you need to constantly watch your step so as not to stumble:
Kostya walks through the jungle 
HinLadWaterfall– one of the most beautiful waterfalls on Koh Samui
We walked along the path, expecting a waterfall, but met foreigners who said that the passage was blocked by a fallen tree and we would have to go around it along a rocky riverbed. At the first opportunity, we turned left from the path and walked along the stones. This happened near this sign:
After this sign the road was blocked by a fallen tree, we went down to the river Having quickly descended, we found ourselves near an artificial dam:
View from the dam 
Having walked around the fallen tree, we had to return, but it seemed to us that the waterfall was about to appear on the horizon! And they set off to conquer the rocky riverbed. We also thought that the path was somewhere high on the mountain, but later it turned out that it ran a few meters from the river, where we, groaning, climbed over stones that sometimes exceeded our height :) But we remembered this 1 km trip over the rocks for a long time! And the travel time increased by 2-3 times!
Very picturesque! 
Stone pyramids And we continue our path along the rocky riverbed:
As we moved along the riverbed, we discovered another waterfall! True, it’s not working, but apparently it was once decent!
What awaits us right behind these stones? Hooray! So we reached the first level of the Hin Lad waterfall:
Having climbed up, we saw this wonderful picture:
Beautiful! This is the main, second level of Hin Lad Waterfall!
Everything looks different from the other side Here we safely swam and received a natural massage from the streams of water rushing down! There were no tourists - we were lucky, we were very much at one with nature that day!
Natural massage There is also a third level that we did not know about. After all, it seemed to us - where to crawl further. But no! He's there! Well, that’s okay, I think we’ll correct the article with new photos :)

Na Muang Waterfall on Samui is such a 2 in 1 place. Here you can admire the waterfall and ride elephants. However, entry is free. First of all, we went to meet the elephants. All elephants not involved in riding tourists stand on a short chain and at most can take a step back and a step forward.
They are waiting for tourists to ride them for an additional fee (700 baht for adults, 400 for children). We had already ridden the elephants and came just to look at and pet them.
And how cool it was that a baby elephant was recently born here. So cool and playful, he was a star and won the hearts of everyone present. All the attention and almost all the bananas went to him. We even forgot about the waterfalls, squeezing his prickly little face.
And he ran around, rubbed his back against the barriers and exposed himself to everyone so that people could pet him. Finally, he fell into a trough of water, which was no longer his size, and floundered in the water, amusing us all. Elephants simply love water. And the size of the bathtub, in my opinion, is not important to them.
It's cramped, but in the water 
Look how I fit in 
Water procedures are completed by still ineptly pouring oneself from the trunk
I didn’t even want to leave him. Having made sure that the baby elephant’s life here is at least fun and gets a portion of kind attention every day, which cannot be said about adult elephants, we went down to the waterfall.
Take care of animals!
Na Muang Waterfall
It’s very convenient that everything is close here. From the elephants along a path through rows of stalls with food and souvenirs we went down to one of the Samui waterfalls.
On the way we noticed a plump lizard without a tail with silky skin
And here he is. Na Muang Waterfall. Almost twenty meters of a powerful seething stream of water!
Na Muang waterfall on Koh Samui - a waterfall without water 
Just kidding, of course, we didn’t see the long-awaited sight on Koh Samui.
Where can I order a transfer from the airport?
We use the service - KiwiTaxi
We ordered a taxi online and paid by card. We were met at the airport with a sign with our name on it. We were taken to the hotel in a comfortable car. You've already talked about your experience In this article.
So where is it, the waterfall? On the fly again. It's a bummer in Phuket and Koh Samui. And I love waterfalls so much. Despite the fact that it still rains here in the summer months, the waterfall flows in a thin stream. You should come to Na Muang waterfall in winter, in December, January, when there is a lot of water here after the rainy season.
But we weren't upset at all. After the baby elephant, there wasn’t much need for a waterfall. So much positive energy from the cute little baby that there was not an ounce of regret.
How to get there
The Na Muang waterfall and elephant farm are located in the south of the island, near Lamai Beach. By public transport (red songthaews) you can get to the turnoff from the main road and then walk in about 15 minutes. There are signs everywhere. The map at the end of the article shows the point where the turn to the Na Mueang 1 complex is and how to go further. If you go with your own vehicle, there is a small paid parking lot (50 baht for a car, 20 for a bike).
How much does it cost to get to Songthaew?
These prices are valid until 18:00. Do not ask the driver for the price, just sit down silently, as if you know everything. Pay strictly without change, since giving change to a white person is beneath the dignity of His Majesty the Samui Driver
- From Lamai drive 10 minutes towards Nathon, fare 40 baht per person
- From Chaweng you can get to NaMuang Waterfall via Lamai without transfers. The fare will cost 60 baht
- From Maenam and Bophut you can get to Na Muang Waterfall only with a transfer to Chaweng. The fare will cost 50 + 60 = 110 baht per person one way.
- From Nathon go towards Lamai. Travel 60 THB.
PS: if the driver demands 100 baht per person, as happens every second time, say that you are not a tourist, that you have lived here for a long time and know the prices.
