Wang Pian Waterfall, also known locally as Huai Kon Waterfall, is a natural waterfall located in Ban Huai Sai Khao, Moo 7, Huai Kon Subdistrict, Chaloem Phra Kiat District, Nan Province. It is approximately 11 kilometers from the district center. The waterfall is known for its complex rock formations and 6 cascading levels, surrounded by forests, streams, and peaceful mountain scenery in northern Nan.
 
The main highlight of Wang Pian Waterfall is its layered natural rock structure. Water flows over rocks and cliffs, forming several waterfall levels and natural pools. The first level is approximately 30 meters high and has a pool suitable for swimming, while the second level is approximately 50 meters high and is considered one of the most beautiful parts of the waterfall.
 
Wang Pian Waterfall has 6 levels. The waterfall levels have long been known by traditional local names, including Tad Man, Pha Khan Thai, Pha Chom, Tad Ling, and Tad Mok or Huai Hok. These names reflect the natural landscape, rock formations, and the close relationship between the local community, forests, and streams in Huai Kon Subdistrict.
 
The area around the waterfall is shaded by forest trees, riverside plants, and mountain vegetation. The sound of flowing water creates a relaxing atmosphere suitable for visitors who want to spend time in nature, take photographs, swim carefully in safe areas, or walk along the streamside scenery.
 
The best time to visit Wang Pian Waterfall is from the rainy season to the early cool season, when the water flow is strong and the surrounding forest becomes lush green. During the dry season, the amount of water may decrease, but the area still remains suitable for nature walks and quiet relaxation.
 
Wang Pian Waterfall is also important to Ban Huai Sai Khao and Huai Kon Subdistrict as a local natural attraction connected with community life, water resources, and local tourism. Visitors can experience both the beauty of the waterfall and the atmosphere of a northern border community in Chaloem Phra Kiat District.
