Arrival to the Ton Chong Fa Waterfall
from Khao Lak it is pretty easy to get to Ton Chong Fa. Similar to the waterfall Sai, it only takes about 15 minutes to reach it. It is best to rent your own scooter and make yourself on the dirt road in the mountains behind Khao Lak.
Take the side street next to the Khrua Khun Udom Restaurant from the main street. There is a small sign that shows the direction to the waterfall. Follow it about 7 km up the steep mountain path until you reach the first waterfall pool.
You can also hike to the waterfalls, which takes over an hour but is worth it. The road that leads to Ton Chong FA is lined with banana trees, farms and places with a dense jungle.

What you expect from Ton Chong Fa
Performance and amount of water depend on the season. During the monsoon months, the water flows so strongly that the waterfall is often closed due to dangerous currents. On the other hand, visitors could find the waterfall completely dry in drier months.
Remember that you have to pay a state tax of 200 THB to visit Ton Chong FA. I found it particularly steep, but it is worth it if you are a fan of waterfalls because you don't get much better near Khao Lak.

Check the five levels
Although most waterfalls are similar to height and strength, it is still worth taking a look at the higher levels. All waterfalls are about medium -sized, about 10 m for the largest. If you want to escape the heat, the levels one, two, three and four also offer a reasonably large swimming area under the waterfalls.
Unfortunately, most of these pools were full of wood and jungle debris from the monsoon towers when I was there.
The path to the top level only takes about 20 minutes on foot. However, you can easily spend a day to look at the different levels while you've stopped by with everyone.
