Mae Pan is actually the name of the watershed area. Kew Mae Pan is just the beginning. At the northwestern end of Kew Mae Pan forest, you can see a tiny water source only a metre in diameter.
The tiny stream cascades down the mountain's evergreen forest, combining with other small streams and finally becoming an impressive waterfall hidden in the deep jungle. Its height is more than 100m in total.
During rainy season, it's easy to spot the white stripe of the waterfall among the dense jungle while driving on highway 1192 from the national park's second checkpoint. But it is a bit far from other attractions on the mountain, which is probably why Mae Pan Falls is far less popular than Kew Mae Pan. Standing about 2,200m above sea level, Kew Mae Pan is among the best nature trails available in Thailand's national parks.
