Vachiratharn/Wachiratan Waterfall – Chiang Mai – Thailand
Near the Waterfall
The Wachiratan Waterfall is located at Thailand’s highest Mountain Doi Inthanon. Here at the National Park are three Waterfall in total, but the Nam Tok Vachiratharn is the the most spectacular Waterfall in this Area. The Doi In National Park is about 80 km out of Chiang Mai City and easy to reach by Minivan or Public Bus. It´s a turn from about one hour by Van. The public Bus need about one and a half hours from Chiang Mai Center. From the entry from the National Park of Thailand there are some Mini Busses which go direct to Nam Tok Wachiratan. From the park place it is just a short walk to the Waterfall. You can not reach the Nam Tok Wachirathan more than 50 meters without getting wet. So be careful of your Camera or other private things. Next to the Fall are steps where you can climb up till nearly the top of this high Waterfall in Southeast Asia. For more Information about the Nam Tok Wachiratn at Thailand’s Chiang Mai Province read the Lonely Planet Guide Book or ask in a local booking office. Nam Tok Vachiratharn is the official name, in the most English Travel Guides they write it as Wachiratan Waterfalls. But it doesn’t matter how the name is! This Waterfall in North Thailand is one of the spectacular and beautifulest I ever saw.
