Sai Yok Noi waterfall Kanchanaburi is located right alongside the main highway. The area can be accessed by car, motorcycle or by tour bus.
The train station at Nam Tok is located approximately 2km away.
The area is also know by the other name Khoa Pung Waterfall.
It is one of the more beautiful waterfalls in Kanchanaburi, but I still think for the extra effort needed to get to, Huay Mae Kamin waterfall is far nicer.
The environment surrounding the falls are shady, but with low rain fall, some areas are left with stagnant water leading to smells and mosquitoes.
A vast majority of the swimming pool areas have been man made by the Thai’s to try and create small pools to swim in. With low rain fall some are unsuccessful.
The waterfall comes to life especially between July to October in the rainy season. King Rama V visited the waterfall around BE 2431.
At the site, there is an exhibit of a steam locomotive used during the second world war to commemorate the construction of the Death Railway that runs by the falls to Myanmar (Burma).
Many locals visit this waterfall as an opportunity to cool off and have a relaxing lunch on thatched mats.
There are change rooms, toilets and many small shops for food available at reasonable prices.
If you driving past in the late afternoon, it’s a great place to stop briefly for a quick cool off in the water as all the tourist buses will have been and gone.
A lot of people express disappointment when they visit Sai Yok Noi waterfall, with the trickle of water and barely cascading it can be rather underwhelming at times.
