“This waterfall is notable for its expansive sheet of water, especially during the rainy season, which resembles a large mat. It's part of a diverse national park that also includes Tham Pla (Fish Cave), home to many iridescent carp.”

Pha Suea Waterfall (Pha Suea Waterfall) is one of Mae Hong Son Province's most significant and renowned natural attractions. It is situated within Tham Pla-Pha Suea National Park and originates from the Mae Sa Nga River, which flows from Myanmar. The waterfall is of medium size, approximately 10 meters high, with a wide rock face spanning about 15 meters where the water cascades down.

The unique charm of Pha Suea Waterfall lies in its appearance during the rainy season (roughly July to September). The increased water volume causes the cascade to spread across the entire wide rock face, creating a visual resemblance to a large, unrolled mat – hence its name, "Pha Suea." Even during the dry season, the waterfall maintains a consistent flow, allowing visitors to admire its beauty throughout the year.

The area surrounding Pha Suea Waterfall boasts abundant and lush greenery, providing a cool, shady, and refreshing atmosphere. It's an ideal spot for relaxation, enjoying the natural scenery, and breathing in fresh air. Beyond the waterfall's beauty, visitors can explore short nature trails around the vicinity or visit "Tham Pla" (Fish Cave), located within the same national park. This cave is home to a large population of iridescent carp, which visitors can feed.

Pha Suea Waterfall is therefore an excellent destination for nature lovers, photographers, or anyone seeking to escape the hustle and bustle and immerse themselves in the tranquility and splendor of the forest and its flowing waters. A visit here promises a memorable experience and lasting good memories.

Travel Tips

  • Dress Code: As it's a natural attraction, wear comfortable, breathable clothing and appropriate footwear for walking.

  • What to Bring: It's advisable to carry drinking water, a hat or umbrella for sun protection, and a camera to capture the beautiful scenery.
