Phuket Waterfalls
Kathu Waterfall
Located in the center of Phuket, just a 10-minute drive from Patong Beach in the Kathu area. This small waterfall, which is active only during the rainy season, has several levels that can be reached by stairs. There is a small pool for swimming, although you won’t be able to swim in it due to the shallow water. The place is great for photo shoots, despite the unkempt area, which gives it a special charm. Unfortunately, the stairs are starting to crumble, and there are no plans for renovation in this area. So be careful when visiting and watch your step.

Ao Yon Waterfall
Located at Cape Panwa on the east coast of Phuket. This is not a tourist spot and is usually deserted. The waterfall is small but beautiful during the rainy season. The largest stream of water is at the bottom, and you can also swim here during the rainy season. The trip can be combined with a visit to Ao Yon Beach and the old Phuket Aquarium.

Kamala Waterfalls
Located near Kamala Beach on the west coast of Phuket, this is a little-known and uncrowded place where you can not only take beautiful photos but also cool off.

Bang Wan Waterfall
Located at the southern end of Kamala Beach, this waterfall suffers from trash and barbed wire on its approach, but infrastructure improvements are planned for the near future. Even now, it is quite a popular place for hiking, yoga, and just walking in nature. Swimming is not allowed here - this is stated on the fence near the waterfall.

Bangpae Waterfall
Located in Khao Phra Thaeo National Park in the north of Phuket, in the Thalang area. This park is popular among locals. Bang Pae is one of the largest waterfalls in Phuket, so it attracts tourists from all over the world.
Cost (for foreigners):
* Adult – 400 baht
* Children - 200 baht
Ton Sai Waterfall
Can be visited together with Bang Pae Waterfall. The waterfall itself is smaller in size, but is located close to the "big brother", so it is worth a walk.
Cost (for foreigners):
* Adult – 400 baht
* Children - 200 baht
The ticket to Ton Sai and Bang Pae waterfalls is the same, meaning you can buy one near one waterfall and walk along the path to the other without having to pay for anything again.
How to get to the waterfalls
