Wang Sai Thong Waterfall
A large golden limestone waterfall. Its headwaters are originated from Klong Wang Noi which flushes from a cave under a mountain, cascading down through the mountain gaps. It is a mesmerizing beauty since the basins at the different levels are arranged in descending order from top to bottom, looking like a blooming lotus which spreads out even further on the lower side. The streams passing through the golden limestone strike against the sun to make a stunning view as if they were a golden lotus radiating its aura. On the ground where the waterfall ends, a sandy soil lies so you can walk around in the water safely. The surrounding areas are shady with large trees casting shadows for you to sit around and enjoy the cool and breezy nature.
Rafting at Wang Sai Than, Klong lam Loan
Wang Sai Than, Klong Lam Loan is a canal that is originated from Bantad Mountains. It is the main water stream of the forest at the Pak Bara Headwaters. The water is so crystal clear that you can see schools of fish passing. Along the two sides of the canal, large trees stand tall and cast shadows. The popular travelling activity is kayaking in which you can paddle along the stream and roll along the curves around the islets for more than 16 of them. Some areas can be rapids, adding challenges and excitement to your liking. The cool stream, the sensations and the predictions of what lies ahead always make the travellers agree that time does fly when you are having fun. We recommend that you select a rafting tour which provides safety staff, life jackets, and safety helmets for your safety.
The nearby areas are the homes of the locals called “Orang Aslis” who still live their traditional lifestyles. The Orang Aslis mostly migrate from place to place, living in makeshift residences. They truly live in nature, using banana leaves and rattan leaves as sleeping mats or roofs. They live on taro and potato and hunt civets, monkeys, langurs, squirrels for food.
