There was a little time and we went to get acquaintedwith waterfalls of Thailand. We started with the intelligence of the waterfall Huay Kaew in Chiang Mai, which is located at the end of the street of the same name. And intelligence because there is still a distant waterfall, plus you can climb the Doi Suthep mountain itself. But this is another time and for the whole day. In general, after what he had seen, I wanted to go to the mountains, on a real hike with backpacks, in the company of good friends, so that I would take a scant shuffle with me and sit around the fire and tell all sorts of stories. This is exactly what this Huay Kaew waterfall has inspired. Although the matter, of course, is not in it, but in my love in tourist trips.

Waterfall Huay Kaew Waterfall
Not far from the road, literally 10 minuteswalking located beautiful waterfall Huay Kaew Waterfall. The height is difficult to estimate, but somewhere around 6-8 meters, probably. Before approaching it there will be a small green zone, where local residents often rest, some with books, some lying down. I would have lived nearby, I would also go here every day with a laptop - this is much nicer than a sofa in an apartment.

All this green zone crosses the stone bed of a mountain river. Just upstream of which is a waterfall. By the way, the places are very similar Grand Canyon of Crimea. Who was there, he will understand me, a very impressive place.
Vegetation in Doi Suthep National Park
If you want to not just look at it, butand move a little, it makes sense to climb to the very top on the right side, just where the sign is "Danger, do not walk." In fact, there is not at all scary, if you look at your feet.

Going a little further (10 more minutes), along the pathon the same right side, we will face the next waterfall Wang Bua Ban Waterfall, which is no less beautiful than the first. You can also get here by asphalt road, but this is too easy, and then, of course.

The area with this waterfall is bigger, with gazebos,paths and bridges. And one of the tracks leads to the observation deck, from where you can see Chiang Mai in person. The trees are really a bit obstructed, but you can see normally.

The park probably goes on and on. But suddenly it got dark and we had to return. Good place to have a good day. At the exit of the national park there is a statue of a certain highly revered monk, and there many local people have to give a flower and pray.

Getting there
It is necessary to go (or go) along Huay Kaew Street tothe very end, and as soon as you see the Chaing Mai Zoo Zoo on the left side of the road, then you are almost there. A little uphill and the first turn to the left will lead you to Doi Suthep Pui National Park, where Huay Kaew Waterfall will be.

Pay attention, in the word kAEw letters in some placesconfused. So often in Thailand it happens when they write a name in English, and it’s not clear where the truth is. Therefore, it is sometimes impossible to find the name of something in Google.

Choosing insurance is now unrealistically difficult, so to help all travelers, I compile a rating. To do this, I constantly monitor forums, study insurance contracts and use insurance by myself.
