Mae Ya Waterfall (Namtok Mae Ya) We've been told that this was supposedly the tallest waterfall in the country (we're not sure about that assertion), but it definitely held its own in terms of size. However, what really made this waterfall stand out was the massive triangular fan shape and the multitude of stepping drops that gave it character and texture (especially if photographed in long exposure). We saw plenty of people who came with big cameras so I think it was safe to say this was also a photographer's favorite. The walk was a mere 600m from the car park, which was decked out with a large row of tented cantines and markets. The top part of Mae Ya Waterfall was even visible from here, which hastened us to get onto the walk with all the excitement. It took us about 90 minutes to ride back to Chiang Mai from this waterfall.
