The Mae Sa Waterfall is actually a series of 9 or 10 (depending on your criteria) small waterfalls and cascades spaced anywhere between 100m to 500m apart from each other. Of the 9, we thought that waterfalls 4-8 were the most interesting as these were more photographable and had interesting shapes. Most of the falls were signposted so we could identify them. But I tended to think of this attraction as more of a Thai picnic and swimming spot. That was because none of the falls individually were more than 10-15m tall I reckon, and we saw many Thai holiday-makers picnicking with friends and family. In fact, it was quite a popular place despite us showing up in the late afternoon (thereby not allowing for a whole lot of time to experience all the waterfalls before it started to get dark; so it was kind of rushed).
The way we did this excursion was by walking up to waterfalls 4-10 from the third car park (there were three total and the third one was the uppermost one). From there, we took the well-developed walks uphill all alongside the stream seeing one waterfall after the next.
Even though we thought 4-8 were the most interesting, it wasn't easy getting satisfying photos of most of them. Even some of these could be construed as more like rapids or mini-cascades than waterfalls. But once we got beyond the eighth waterfall, we continued on to see what waterfalls 9 and 10 looked like, but there was no signage and I could've made the case that these last two were nothing more than rapids.
After returning to the third car park, we shuttled down to the first car park (the lowermost one) where our driver waited for us. I think when we hastily made this descent to see the remaining waterfalls, it seemed like we only managed to notice waterfall #1 as waterfalls 2 and 3 either weren't a big deal or the path we took was too far removed from the stream (assuming there was another trail we should've taken on the other side of the stream).
Directions: We visited the Mae Sa Waterfall complex about 90 minutes after visiting Pong Dueat, which itself was an hour west of Mork Fa Waterfall. So I guess by simple arithmetic, it was merely 30 minutes from there to the Mae Sa Waterfall.
I think it was roughly about 30 minutes driving between this waterfall and Chiang Mai.
