Tenaja Falls
Tenaja Falls is one of those waterfalls that might not seem like much to people outside the Southern California area, but considering how 150ft waterfalls are quite rare here and that…
Ortega Falls
Ortega Falls was one of those waterfalls that eluded us back in our earlier days of waterfalling. Apparently, we didn’t follow directions too well because we almost gave…
Tangerine Falls (West Fork Cold Springs Falls)
Locally known as Tangerine Falls (but also known as West Fork Cold Springs Falls), this apparently “Santa Barbara locals only” waterfall requires quite a bit of an adventure to reach. It’s…
Nojoqui Falls
Nojoqui Falls is an impressive 80ft moss and fern fringed waterfalls that seem to be somewhat common in the Southern California area. What’s cool about this waterfall is that…
Escondido Falls
Escondido Falls is said to be the tallest waterfall in the Santa Monica Mountains. Unfortunately, you’re most likely to see only the last 40 or 50ft of it in its lowest drop through…
La Jolla Canyon Falls
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…
Khlong Lan Waterfall (Nam tok Khlong Lan)
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…
Thi Lo Su Waterfall (Nam tok Tee Lor Su)
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…
Thi Lor Jor Waterfall (Nam tok Thilawjaw)
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…
Pha Charoen Waterfall (Nam tok Pha Charoen)
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…
Thararak Waterfall (Nam tok Thararak)
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 (Nam tok Mae Ya)
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..
Mae Klang Waterfall (Nam tok Mae Klang)
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…
Wachirathan Waterfall (Nam tok Vachirathan)
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…
Siriphum Waterfall (Nam tok Siribhum)
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…
Mork Fa Waterfall (Nam tok Mork Fah)
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…
Mae Sa Waterfall (Nam tok Mae Sa)
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…
Haew Sai Waterfall (Nam tok Haew Sai)
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…
Haew Narok Waterfall (Nam tok Haeo Narok)
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…
Haew Suwat Waterfall (Nam tok Haeo Suwat)
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…
