La Jolla Canyon Falls is the other waterfall attraction in Point Mugu State Park nestled within the Santa Monica Mountains (the other waterfall being Sycamore…

This itinerary covered a three-week trip to Thailand as well as a few days in Cambodia. I’ve opted to combine this into a single itinerary since it’s reasonable to assume that many visitors to Cambodia will only do it as an add-on to a Thailand trip as we had done…

I was looking forward to the plane ride partially to at least try to get some sleep and fight off this apparent fever. But at the same time it was gonna be one hell of a long flight. Julie reminded..

The Khlong Lan Waterfall was the last major waterfall we saw on our trip to Thailand. It was a 100m tall by 40m wide giant that was said to have good flow all year long. There were many trees…

The Thi Lo Su Waterfall was probably Thailand’s biggest waterfall in terms of the cumulative amount of space containing falling water. I’ve also seen claims that it was the tallest waterfall in…

The Thi Lor Jor Waterfall was kind of a bonus waterfall to us because we noticed it as sort of an incidental attraction along a river journey that took us from the village of Umphang to somewhere…

The Pha Charoen Waterfall (pronounced “PAH chah-RDOHN” [note the “r” is rolled]) was a lovely 97-level stair-stepping waterfall that was really photo friendly thanks to its combination of texture…

The Thararak Waterfall (pronounced “tah-rah-RAHK”; though I’ve also seen it spelled Taralak) was one of the rare waterfalls where we saw it juxtaposed with a chedi (a particular style of Thai temple..

Mae Ya Waterfall was definitely one of the better waterfalls we saw in Thailand, and it seemed to us to be the pride of the Chiang Mai province. It certainly surprised Julie and I with its enormous..

The Mae Klang Waterfall (pronounced “MEH KLAHNG”) was the lowest of the waterfalls on the road going up to the top of Thailand’s highest peak. However, we happened to visit this one as the last of…

The Wachirathan Waterfall was the second major waterfall on the way up to the summit of Doi Inthanon. Of all the waterfalls we saw in Doi Inthanon National Park, we thought this one had the most…

The Siriphum Waterfall (pronounced “see-ree-POOM”) was an impressively tall waterfall that we noticed was accompanied by another thinner-but-just-as-tall companion waterfall. This was the third or…

The Mork Fa Waterfall took Julie and I by surprise because prior to our trip, we had never heard of it during our trip research so we didn’t have much expectation of our visit. I somehow had this…

The Mae Sa Waterfall was actually a series of 9 or 10 small waterfalls and cascades spaced anywhere between 100m to 500m apart from each other. Depending on your criteria, one might think there…

One of the things that I learned when Julie and I turned our attention internationally to go waterfalling is that travel is all about building bridges between your own perception of the world and what actually happens in the real world…

Since we’re not even half way through our trip, this was worrisome. And sure enough after a few more minutes of touring the temples at Doi Inthanon, the lens got completely stuck. So from now on…

Haew Sai Waterfall contrasts the experience of many other waterfalls in Thailand because it’s a little bit off the beaten track and hence it’s far quieter and less crowded experience…

In our minds, the Haew Narok Waterfall was Khao Yai National Park’s most impressive waterfall. It was said to tumble in three drops combining for a total of over 150m in height. However, we were…

The Haew Suwat Waterfall was probably the most popular waterfall in Khao Yai National Park. We felt this was the case because of its ease of access, its vicinity to a major campsite, and the heaps…

Even though this is a waterfalls website, we recognize that there are many highlights in the state of Hawaii (both involving and not involving waterfalls). So we’ve come up with this page to pay homage to some of the highlights that we…
