The Thilole Waterfall Tak
The Thilole Waterfall is the popular fall for adventerers in the Tak Province. It gained much of its popularity, not because of its rushing water, but because it is so much fun getting to. Most people reach Thilole by rafting for up forty kilometers down exciting and challenging rapids, while enjoying scenes that can only be had in Thailand.
Location
The Thilole Waterfall is located in the forest above the Mae Klong River on the border of the Umphang and Thung Yai Naresuan Wildlife Sanctuary.

While on your trip, you will see birds, monkeys, and other wildlife playing amongst the sheer cliffs that flank the river.
