Often described as one of the most mesmerizing sights in all of Hua Hin, the Namtok Pa La-u Waterfall is a rock cascade that boasts a whopping 11 tiers. The best time to pay a visit to this site is of course during the morning hours between 7am and 10am when the waterfall is at its best. The air around the waterfall is cool and breezy at this time of the day when the entire natural world awakes to greet the sun. The foamy cascades also create a smoky atmosphere full of liquid clouds that renders the venue a magical ambience unique to its setting.
Villagers from the Huai Sad Yai prefecture as well as trekking guides will be more than happy to escort visitors to the site of the waterfall in the early hours of the morning as a popular trekking trail runs parallel to the body of water. Multicoloured butterflies are also seen around the site in the morning in addition to other wildlife. Frequented by bird watching enthusiasts, the area is also a popular venue for spotting rare bird species that inhabit the Hua Hin district.
Visitors can also set off on trails frequented by elephants from the venue or embark on a nature hike around the area surrounding the waterfall. The best period to visit Namtok Pa-La-u Waterfall is during the months between November and April when the fall of the cascades of water are especially appealing.
