Mae Kradang La Waterfall

Mae Kradang La Waterfall is inside Kaeng Krachan National Park at Moo 3, Ban Lin Chang, Tambon Yang Nam Klat Nuea, Nong Ya Plong. It is named after the fragrant kradang la plants that grow here in numbers. A clear stream runs through intact forest, and the shady trail often has clouds of butterflies.

The park opens it to visitors as a special management zone, with routes run by the Ban Lin Chang community enterprise: trekking past each tier, bathing at the Wang Mai Ruak pool and camping by the falls. Tier 8 is known as Hing Hoi, the firefly waterfall, because swarms of fireflies light up around it at night.

In October 2025 the park banned entry after a visitor slipped and was injured, citing the remote site, gravel road and lack of phone signal. In October 2026 the park invited visitors back, with a permit and a guide required on every trip. The walk suits fit hikers with full trekking gear.
