Khlong Lan Waterfall (Namtok Khlong Lan)

The Khlong Lan Waterfall was the last major waterfall we saw on our trip to Thailand. It was a 100m tall by 40m wide giant that was said to have good flow all year long. There were many trees that had grown near its base which made the waterfall a little difficult to photograph without a bit of creativity. But with the falls' easy accessibility, it was a popular place though we didn't encounter some of the crazier crowds like in many of Thailand's other waterfalls.

The area around the falls contained pretty obvious walks leading to both sides of the stream each affording close-up views of the falls. The path on the right seemed to be able to get us as close to the falls as we were able to. However, the path on the left crossed a bridge before meandering amongst trees (some of them with little shrines or some colorful fabrics tied to them for some spiritual purpose). We even saw a group of orange-robed monks enjoying the falls on this side, which was something we don't think happens in many places around the world.

Even though we didn't do it, we knew there was also a 2-hour return walk from the entrance gate to the Khao Hua Chang viewpoint where supposedly we could get a distant view of the waterfall surrounded by the forest as well as its mountainous backdrop. The park literature said this was actually a good spot to see the sunrise and sunset.

Directions: Khlong Lan National Park is roughly an hour's drive southwest of the (fairly-off-the-beaten-path) town of Kamphaeng Phet (pronounced "kahm-PANG pet"). Since we were on an escorted tour, we could only provide the sense of time and logistics but not specifics in terms of driving directions.
