Than Thip Waterfall is located at Ban Noen Hin Tang, Nong Kaew Subdistrict, Prachantakham District, Prachinburi Province. It is a stream flowing over different rock layers, alternating with wide stone terraces and deep natural pools suitable for swimming. The surrounding forest remains lush and fertile, offering a refreshing atmosphere for relaxation in nature.

 

The charm of Than Thip Waterfall lies in the stream that “flows down in levels” over natural rock formations, creating wide stone terraces for sitting and listening to the water, as well as natural pools for safe swimming under the supervision of park officials. The forest around the stream stays moist and cool throughout the day, especially during the late rainy season when the stream is full and the breeze turns crisp.

 

Another unique feature of Than Thip Waterfall is the evening and nighttime atmosphere in certain zones where decorative lights are installed (commonly known as the “Bridge 2” zone). The light reflecting on the mist and trees creates a romantic mood for a relaxing evening. However, visitors should always check the latest service hours as they may vary by season or park management.

 

Popular activities here include relaxing on the stone terraces, listening to the flowing water, and swimming in the designated pools. Families often bring children to play in shallow areas, while photography enthusiasts enjoy capturing shots of the “water flowing over rocks” at eye level, as well as panoramic views from the bridge overlooking the stream winding through the forest.

 

The best time to visit is from the end of the rainy season to early winter. The water volume is balanced, clear, and the air is pleasantly cool. In summer, it is still a refreshing escape as the stream helps beat the heat, though in some years the water may be lower. In mid-rainy season, visitors should beware of flash floods and slippery surfaces.

 

For safety, tourists should strictly follow park staff guidelines, swim only in designated safe zones, and avoid climbing the left side of the stream, which is steep and slippery, especially after rain. Non-swimmers should wear flotation devices. For evening visits, bring a headlamp and wear shoes with good traction.

 

Travel: From Prachinburi town, follow Highway 3452 about 16 km, then continue on Highway 33 to Prachantakham intersection. Turn left onto the rural road (R.P.C.), continue to kilometer marker 9, where there is a sign for Than Thip Waterfall, then drive about 9 km further to reach the site. Alternatively, from Noen Hom intersection, turn right onto Highway 33 to Prachantakham, then enter the same rural road.

 

Facilities include parking, restrooms, resting areas, and small food stalls. In some periods, bamboo platforms (mats) are available for rent along the stream. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own trash bags and help maintain the cleanliness and sustainability of the natural environment.

 

If you have a whole day, you can plan a multi-stop trip by pairing this with other nearby waterfalls or natural attractions in Prachantakham District and nearby provinces, such as Namtok Takro (Prachinburi) or Namtok Salad Dai (Nakhon Nayok), both popular destinations for those who enjoy forests and streams.
