Koh Samui is not only the beach resort, but contains many
attractions such as the Waterfalls, Snake Farms, Pearl Farms, Butterfly Garden,
and etc.
Nah Muang Falls:
10 kilometers south of Nathon, nature lovers will find Nah Muang Falls. This
area is accessible from the village of Ban Thurian via an unpaved road. There
are actually two waterfalls: Nah Muang, which is 18 meters high and reachable by
vehicle; and Na Muang Two, which is about 80 meters high, requiring a 30-minute
walk to get to the top. The waterfalls are the most scenic place on the island
and a great place to have a picnic. |
