Khun Si Waterfall
About
On Koh Samui, Khun Si Waterfall sits near Wat Thale in the island's interior, reached by a short walk through jungle from the ring road. The waterfall is known for its tiered rock pools and the cool water that collects between them. It is one of the island's inland natural sights rather than a beach stop.
First-time visitors should expect a scramble over rocks and roots rather than a paved path, with the lower pools easiest to reach and the upper tiers demanding more care. A rating of 4.1 out of 5 from 524 reviews places it among the more reviewed natural attractions on Koh Samui. The falls sit within reach of Chaweng, Lamai and Bophut, the island's main resort areas.
Opening hours are not published for this waterfall. No photos are held for the listing. Visitors travelling from the main resort strips should allow for the winding inland road before the final walk.
Thai cooking relies on fish sauce, shrimp paste, coconut milk, lemongrass and chillies, with rice as the staple, so a meal after the climb is easy to find nearby. Thai is the national language and is tonal, so a few polite phrases go a long way. The island's limestone terrain, with its cliffs and caves, shapes the landscape around the falls. Reaching the trailhead from Chaweng, Lamai, Bophut, Maenam, Choeng Mon, Bang Rak, Hua Thanon or Lipa Noi is straightforward by scooter or songthaew.
