Highlights

The Chat Trakan Waterfall


The Chat Trakan Waterfall : The Chat Trakan Waterfall has seven separate levels, each having its own unique beauty. The first level flows through a crack in the cliff, powerfully thrusting the water into an immense circular pool ant the base. The second is bigger than the first and offers a similarly stunning view without the benefit of a swimming hole. From here, you can walk up to the third level, which is the smallest section of the seven. The fourth level is particularly popular because of the curtain of mist that fills the air. Most visitors make this their last stop because the higher levels pale in comparison. If you do decide to continue up, the seventh and highest level is fed by creek, which leads to the Park Office, enabling you to make this a one-way trip. Nearby, there is a cliff that will give you a view of the rocks and plants below. Inside the Pha Lek Cave, you can view ancient cave painting that predate history.
