Local Attractions – Bang Pae Waterfall

Bangpae waterfall is one of the best-known waterfalls in Phuket. There are only three significant waterfalls on the island: Bang Pae, Kathu Waterfall and Tonsai Waterfall, maybe four if you include a tiny one near Ao Yon Beach.

Two are in the same east Phuket area, and both are part of a National Park, which means an entry fee is requested. The entry fee has long been a big discussion topic as locals pay 20 baht, and tourists will have to pay 200 baht. In a way, it’s not illogical when you know the average salary of most Thais.

Bang Pae waterfall is easy to reach, easy to park and doesn’t require a long or hard walk. On the way, you will probably see Thai teens and families playing in the stream
