Wachirathan Waterfall is one of the most stunning and powerful waterfalls within Doi Inthanon National Park. The water originates from Mae Klang Creek before plunging 70 meters down a sheer granite cliff. The force of the fall creates a clean, white spray that mists the surrounding rocks and lush vegetation, providing a refreshing and cool atmosphere for all visitors.

A unique feature that charms tourists is the rainbow phenomenon created when sunlight hits the dense mist, especially during midday. The surrounding environment remains a rich evergreen forest, with moss and ferns thriving on the constant moisture. The site is exceptionally well-managed, with orderly walkways and safe observation decks, allowing visitors to experience the waterfall's power closely yet safely.

The most impressive charm of Wachirathan Waterfall lies in its systematic management and impeccable cleanliness. Despite being a highly popular destination, the surrounding area is kept remarkably orderly and clean.The nature trails are thoughtfully designed to blend with the forest, allowing visitors to experience the waterfall's grandeur without obstructing the natural view. Resting zones and facilities are strictly maintained and well-organized, creating a premium and relaxing atmosphere. Enjoying a cup of coffee while listening to the powerful fall within such a meticulously cared-for environment provides a high-quality eco-tourism experience that is truly unforgettable.

Wachirathan Waterfall is more than just a roadside stop on the way up Doi Inthanon; it is a premier destination highlighting the forest's richness and the abundance of water resources in Chiang Mai.
