Koh Samui was once a Thai fishing community, and that charming sensibility is still present today. Spending time in Bophut is a wonderful way to soak up local culture; the beachy village restaurants and pubs are perfect spots to experience the sunset. There aren’t many other places where you can bask in the camp of a cabaret show and the solemnity of a Buddhist temple. As far as the latter goes, Wat Plai Laem is a magnificent vision of gilded red rooftops and a massive spindly-armed statue of Guanyin.

The initial pool and temple area near the carpark are quite nice but you will be rewarded if you continue on and climb to the falls. It takes about half an hour to walk and I’d suggest runners because its rocky and a bit slippery. We’re in our mid-50’s with reasonable fitness and the climb is no issue. For the whole way you are surrounded by rainforest and jungle with very few signs of human activity and very little rubbish. Eventually you will reach a wide pool with a sandy shore but continue on for another few minutes to reach the actual falls. There are two large rockpools where you can swim and for most of the time there we had the place to ourselves and didn’t see anyone else. The falls themselves, the large boulders along the riverbed and lush jungle make for a pretty impressive landscape As a bonus there’s a little bar on the way where you can get stop for a drink on the way back.

Go early and you’ll have the place to yourself. It’s a tricky to get too but worth it. Wear closed shoes as it’s a hike up and down & slippery at times. The rock pool is lovely to swim in. Make sure you stop in the chill out cafe on way back, gorgeous gardens, lovely staff and cool bar in the muddle of nowhere. If you’re going to the falls on moped.... it’s not an easy ride as the roads are pretty bad for the last km or so.

If you want to visit the beautiful waterfall on Koh Samui, be sure to visit the waterfall On Muang II. Make sure you climb to the top (no guide needed), passed the coconut leaf. Your condition should be fine, but it is worth it to reach the top and dive into the refreshing water. Elephant trekking is really not worth the money, but the waterfall is absolutely great. we should see if you want.
