Rainbow Waterfall (Sai Rung)

Rainbow waterfall (Sai Rung) is a beautiful, narrow, but high waterfall that is easy to access. It is located in the Pak Weep area, so you’ll have to drive a bit (30 minutes) coming from La On (Khao Lak Center).

Rainbow Waterfall (Thai: Namtok Sai Rung) is also known as Pakweep waterfall. It’s situated 15 kilometres north of La On, but it’s mostly an easy drive on highway 4 (see map).

When you arrive at the entrance of the Rainbow waterfall, you can park your vehicle on the private property for 20 THB. The waterfall itself doesn’t have an entrance fee, so it’s a total bargain!

There’s also a restaurant and you can have lunch with tables prepared in the shallow stream. Ever had lunch like that? Be truly one with nature, while having delicious Thai food.

It’s a short 2-minute walk and you’ll quickly hear the waterfall. The area is very relaxing and usually not that crowded.
