Discover the Majestic Tham Yai Waterfall

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, start from the main road in Phu Kradueng. Drive towards the Phu Kradueng National Park entrance, which is well signposted. Once you pass through the entrance gate, follow the park road for approximately 6 kilometers until you reach the parking area near the trailhead to Tham Yai Waterfall. There is no entrance fee for the waterfall itself, but the National Park has an entrance fee, so be prepared to pay 200 THB per adult and 100 THB per child.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transportation, take a local bus or songthaew (shared taxi) from Loei city to Phu Kradueng. Once you arrive in Phu Kradueng, you can either rent a bicycle or hire a motorbike taxi to reach the National Park entrance. From there, follow the same route as car travelers, heading towards the parking area near the trailhead for Tham Yai Waterfall. Make sure to confirm with the driver the cost of your journey; expect to pay around 30-50 THB for the local bus and about 100-200 THB for the motorbike taxi.

• Hiking

  After reaching the parking area, you will need to hike approximately 1.5 kilometers along a well-marked trail to reach Tham Yai Waterfall. The hike is moderately easy and can take around 30-45 minutes. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and carry water, as the area can be quite hot. The waterfall is located at the coordinates 16.884850999999998, 101.77613099999999.
