Huay Hoy Waterfall: A Hidden Gem in the Mountains

Nestled amidst the mountains of Mae Wang district, Huay Hoy Waterfall offers a captivating experience for nature enthusiasts. This moderately sized waterfall rivals the beauty of many renowned cascades on Doi Inthanon. The cascading water plunges over large rocks, creating a mesmerizing curtain of water, especially during the rainy season.

Huay Hoy Waterfall lies along a popular hiking trail, serving as a refreshing stopover for weary travelers. Visitors can cool off in the pool below the falls, or even venture behind the cascading water into a large, hollowed-out rock formation. This unique experience adds to the allure of Huay Hoy Waterfall, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking adventure and natural beauty.


It is surprising that such a beautiful waterfall is only known to avid hikers and rarely visited by Thai tourists. This may be due to the challenging access, which involves either a strenuous hike or a steep, narrow, and winding paved road leading up the mountain for over 10 kilometers from the entrance to the village.



Along the path leading down to the waterfall, those who enjoy macro and close-up photography will find an abundance of insects, butterflies, wildflowers, and small flowers to capture, providing endless opportunities for stunning shots.


Sitting in a mix of loneliness and sadness, with a touch of joy and fun at the end. Watching the waterfall mixed with the drizzle, single people might feel a little lonely, but not to the point of sadness. The beauty of the waterfall and the fun of fellow tourists running in and out of the waterfall, walking around, and bathing in the waterfall bring smiles throughout the visit to Huai Hoy Waterfall.

The small waterfall of Huai Hoy, nestled amidst the valley and known to only a few, remains one of the most pristine natural wonders. I believe that the true joy of travel lies in the exploration itself, in piecing together the path with limited information and seeking guidance along the way.
