PAM BOK WATERFALL

what is a waterfall?

A waterfall is an area where water flows over a vertical drop or a series of steep drops in the course of a stream or river. Waterfalls also occur where melt-water drops over the edge of a tabular iceberg or ice shelf.

WHERE CAN I FIND PAM BOK WATERFALL?

Getting to the waterfall on car or scooter is very easy. Just take the main road (1095) out of town towards Chiang Mai and Pai Canyon. A clear sign shortly after you passed Coffee in Love on the right will direct you to the waterfall. You’ll be continuing on a small and slightly bumpy road for about 5 km (10 minutes).

You will also pass the Land split on your way to the Pam Bok Waterfall which is a giant chasm that was caused by in earth quake in 2008. It is actually located on the private land of a farmer however he has opened it up for tourists and you can have a little walk around to explore the crack as well as refresh and refuel on some delicious fruits fresh from the garden before continuing to the waterfall.

OUR REVIEW

Pam Bok waterfall is a nice secluded waterfall with high cliffs surrounding it, making this a very cool place to escape the heat.

The drive up to Pam Bok is incredibly scenic. The road is very cute but quite bumpy at some points.  There is a parking lot for visitors of the Pam Bok Waterfall right after you crossed the bridge before the road gets super steep. You have to take a little trek up a staircase to see the beauty of it.

We felt the waterfall was dirty and to be quite honest, over rated. However, we did visit during the rainy season so it may have been a little muddier than usual.

Overall we felt it was worth a visit for the scenery along the way alone!

TOP TIPS

Wear mosquito spray/bite spray as we came home with lots of nasty bites. Also try to go to the toilet before you visit as once there, there aren't many around.
