The pastoral coastline of Khao Lak is a great vacation spot for young couples, families with children and in fact anyone looking to get away from the big cities or the wild nightlife scene of the nearby islands and want to relax with peace of mind in a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.
In Cau Lac you can find mainly Pampering resorts and luxury hotels (Although you can also find accommodation there in a more comfortable budget), some excellent restaurants and especially breathtaking views thanks to the spectacular local nature. For those looking for lively nightlife or exciting attractions, this is not the ideal vacation spot.
For nature lovers who come to Khao Lak, it is a destination of the sweetest dreams - snorkeling, beautiful hiking trails, observation points, waterfalls and also nature reserves which are about an hour's drive away... all of these are abundant on the beach (or in its immediate vicinity) and make Khao Lak one of the places The most special in Thailand.
Among the many magical spots that can be visited during the stay, the Ton Chong Pe Waterfalls are without a doubt in the list of the top five in Khao Lak and as such are a must-stop for tourists and attract all nature lovers traveling in the area.
The waterfalls, which are 7 km east of Bang Niang beach, have a unique structure of five levels that drain at the bottom into a clear and cool natural pool, although shallow, but pleasant to wade in when the weather is hot and humid.
In order to get to the falls you have to walk about twenty minutes for a slippery walk and some would say not so friendly and this is perhaps the only drawback of this experience. Having said that, whoever is willing to take the risk and go on this adventure will testify that the tough walk was undoubtedly worth it - in the end it is a beautiful route that passes through a magical rainforest leading to the first level of the waterfall, where the pool is.
Those who want to take advantage of this wonderful attraction that nature provides us to the fullest, will be able to climb up a narrow and steep path that will lead them to the four upper levels of the waterfall, from which there is a beautiful view of the waterfall and the bathers in the pool.
In order for you to be equipped accordingly, it is important to note that in addition to the slippery walkway leading to the first level, the climb to the other levels is not easy either. All the trails around the waterfall are improvised for walking in the jungle and are not officially regulated for hikers, so they are mainly intended for hikers with good physical fitness. In addition, it is very important to take mosquito repellents with you, water and preferably also snacks.
