Tad Man Waterfall is a natural attraction that provides peace and shade for visitors amidst bamboo forests and rich mixed deciduous forests. It is located on the Wiang ridge within a national reserved forest area. Previously, this area was encroached for corn farming, but after 1993, restoration efforts and reforestation were carried out, making Tad Man Waterfall a thriving natural site with diverse flora and fauna.

The waterfall has multiple tiers, with water flowing down nearly 2 km from the ridge, passing rock rapids approximately 300 m apart.

• Tier 1 – Tat Man: Close to the parking area, surrounded by shady forest with tables and chairs, perfect for family picnics. Water cascades over a nearly 20 m wide cliff, 20 m high. In the rainy season, the waterfall is full and strong; in the dry season, the stream narrows to 1–2 m, crystal clear and ideal for wading.

• Tier 2 – Pha Kan Dai: Cross the stream from Tier 1 and follow the river. Along the way, observe bamboo grass. The waterfall forms a stepped cliff, especially beautiful in the rainy season.

• Tier 3 – Pha Hua Chang: Climb to the top of Tad Man Waterfall and walk along the stream to find a cliff shaped like an elephant head.

• Tier 4 – Pha Chom: Water flows down two steep cliffs for nearly 100 m, roaring continuously. This tier provides another thrilling scene of Tad Man Waterfall.

• Tier 5 – Tat Ling: The waterfall resembles a monkey, approximately 20 m high, with a small pool below suitable for swimming.

• Tier 6 – Tat Mok: Climb the cliff beside Tad Man Waterfall to reach the upper stream, then walk about 300 m. The waterfall is over 20 m high; water hits the rocks, creating mist-like spray with a 3–4 m deep pool suitable for swimming.

Photographers, couples, and artists will find abundant inspiration at Tad Man Waterfall, as the waterfall and surrounding forest provide a perfect backdrop for photography and creative work.
