How To Get To Than Sadet Waterfall

The best way to get to Than Sadet National Park is by scooter. You can normally rent a scooter for about TBH 150-200 per day. They normally ask for either your passport or a TBH 2000 deposit. (If you’re thinking of staying long-term, you can get a scooter for a monthly rate which is around TBH 3500.

When you reach Than Sadet Waterfall, you’ll find a small shop at the entrance. You must buy something (you can buy a bottle of water for TBH 20) in order to visit the waterfall. The local man who has the shop is lovely.

Then, you can reach the waterfall easily as it’s only 100 metres away from the shop.  When we first saw the waterfall, we were surprised – there were a lot of water pipes which was kind of destroying the view. Although, when you hike down the waterfall, the views are gorgeous. (Be careful, some rocks can be quite slippery!)
