Huai
Khamin Waterfall
The
Huai Khamin falls ('Nam Tok Huai Khamin'), which tumble into
the Si Nakharin reservoir, are among Thailand's most powerful
and beautiful waterfalls. Located in the Si Nakharin National
Park, the water cascades
over an ochre-stained limestone rock face, earning the falls
the Thai name 'Huai Khamin' or 'Turmeric Stream'. The little-visited
falls have formed deep pools that are ideal for swimming.
The surroundings are very peaceful with dense jungles and
occasional sightings of elephants and other wildlife.
The
best way to get to the falls is by long-tailed boat from Ban
Tha Kradan or Si Sawat on the eastern side of the reservoir.
Hiring a boat can be expensive unless you go as a larger group
(up to 20 people). It's also possible to get there by motorcycle
or off-road vehicle from Erawan but the road is treacherous
and this route is not recommended.
