Pala-U Waterfall is located in Kaeng Krachan National Park, about 45 miles west of Hua Hin Town. Even though it is located quite a distance from town, it is a must see for every visitor to Hua Hin.
The drive to Kaeng Krachan National Park takes about an hour, but even the drive itself is a worthwhile experience. The park covers an area of woodland and rain forest which dates back nearly 1000 years.
The Pala-U waterfall is a 15 tier fall which follows a creek to the Myanmar border. It is possible to climb to the top of the falls, but the majority of the visitors only make it to the third level. The climb up Pala-U waterfall is just too difficult for the average tourist to Kaeng Krachan National Park. Go as high as you can, be one of the few to make it to the top of Pala-U waterfall.
