Getting There

Songthaew

To reach Mae Sa Waterfall from the city center of Chiang Mai, find a Songthaew (red truck taxi) at any major intersection or designated pickup point. You can also ask your hotel for the nearest stop. Inform the driver you want to go to Mae Sa Waterfall. The ride will take approximately 30-45 minutes, depending on traffic. The Songthaew will drop you off at the entrance of Mae Sa Waterfall. Follow the signs to the ticket booth and enter the park.
Tuk Tuk

You can hire a Tuk Tuk from the city center to Mae Sa Waterfall. Negotiate the fare before starting your journey; it should cost around 300-500 THB for a round trip. The journey will take about 30-45 minutes. The Tuk Tuk driver will wait for you at the waterfall, and you can return to the city afterwards.
Public Bus

From Chiang Mai's Arcade Bus Station, take a public bus heading towards Mae Rim. Ensure it has a sign that mentions Mae Sa or Mae Rim. The fare is very cheap, around 20-40 THB. You will need to inform the driver to drop you off at the closest stop to Mae Sa Waterfall. After getting off, you may need to walk about 1 kilometer to reach the entrance, so it’s best to have a map or ask locals for directions.
Bicycle Rental

If you're feeling adventurous, rent a bicycle from a shop in Chiang Mai. Head towards the northern part of the city, following signs to Mae Rim. The route is approximately 25 kilometers and will take about 1.5 to 2 hours depending on your cycling speed. Be sure to bring water and sunscreen, and ask locals for the best cycling routes to avoid busy roads.
