Waterfall in Than Ngam Forest Park

A nice day-trip from Udon Thani is a visit to the waterfall in the forest park at Than Ngam, near Nong Saeng in Thap Kung District.

 Udon-News thanks forum member 'Maithai' for this excellent report!

Location: From Udon Thani ring-road take the Khon Kaen road, then take the second 2 U-turn and turn left towards Phu Foilom and Wat Pa Baan Taat. Follow the signs to Phu Foilom, and the waterfall is located about 2 km before the entrance to the recreation area, on the left side.

Open daily 8 am to 6 pm. Admission 20 baht

After the entrance there is covered parking.

There are a number of food stalls there, or take your own picnic. Note that drinks here are rather overpriced.

From the large entrance plaza narrow forest paths lead to several nice picnic spots.

In the dry season, there isn't much water, but now in the rainy season it gurgles quite handsomely. Overall, the difference in height is not more than 25 meters in different stages. Everywhere there are rocky plateaus where you can sit with your family and spend a fun afternoon. The children have countless small pools to play in.

This is definitely the most beautiful place.

Very nice atmosphere - barring the picnic garbage of the previous weekend! In the week it is very quiet and relaxing here, certainly better than weekends. The scenery is very pleasant, and definitely recommended for an afternoon at one with nature and cool refreshing water!

Check it out yourself sometime!
