You need to buy ticket at the entrance. There was price for local and tourist but it was affordable. Signages and paths were well maintained. There were total of 10 waterfalls at the park and I had visited 9 out of 10. It was an easy trail which is suitable for family. You can spend few hours here hiking, picnic and playing water. But not during raining season. Just beware of slippery rocks. Good place to relax and chill.

Easy and beautiful trail, very close to Chiang Mai. You pay 100 baht at the entrance, and you can swim in the water (so bring a swimsuit). The trail is well-marked. The highest point of the waterfall was closed, but we explored the rest.

The hike is suitable for everyone.

An easy nature trail with 10 waterfalls (most of them are really just cascades) connected by a paved footpath. As part of the Doi Suthep National Park, the entrance fee for foreign nationals is 100 TBH + 20 TBH for a scooter.

At the end of November 2024, all of the waterfalls were fully accessible. 98% of the trail is on a paved path or steps. There's maybe a few dozen meters of walking on rocks (this section is flat). Most of the people did indeed stop around the 3rd or 4th waterfall when I visited, which I'm not sure why, as the path is almost completely flat until the end.

Swimming is potentially possible in a designated area, but the water was very muddy and uninviting when I visitied.

The path is only about 1km long (one way) so it takes under an hour to walk to the 10th waterfall and back. You can easily spend about 2h inside if you take pictures and take it easy.

I didn't notice any mosquitos, though I did wear long sleeves and mosquito repellent.

I wouldn't put this high on my list if I was in the area only for a day or two, but I'd say it's worth a visit if you're staying longer.

Water is low in January-feb
Water is dirty and water comes from way up river that goes threw elephant sanctuary and people back yards and village and road side

Many pipes pullin water out

Garbage was horrible on far side from high water levels

So to lay 100 per person in a family setting not ideal or on a tour

Seemed to be a okay walk but not worth 1hr plus
Cost us over 600b

Bathroom are gross and made you put on used sandels :/

Some parts of trails saw people turn around cause was not the safes for elders or young kids

Gate guard was quite intense to get you and taking money. when asking questions

100 baht/ adult and 30 baht for car. The lower tier had some trash accumulated but overall was a nice waterfall with a few tiers to climb and explore. Saw broken glass and a rusty nail while walking around the shallow parts (can't recall which tier) so please wear footwear.
