Umphang: Thi Lo Su Waterfall has reopened to visitors after being closed for over two months to allow nature to recover. Adventure seekers, get ready! "Thi Lor Su Waterfall" in the Umphang Wildlife Sanctuary, Tak Province, has reopened to tourists after being closed for over two months to allow nature to recover.
According to Thai News Agency, this year's atmosphere was as spectacular as rumored. The water level was high, with surging currents crashing against the rocks below, creating a misty spray that enveloped the entire viewpoint. The refreshing and soothing sight contrasted beautifully with the lush green rainforest stretching as far as the eye could see. However, due to the force of the water, officials have posted signs warning against swimming. Visitors are encouraged to admire the magnificent spectacle and take stunning photos from the viewpoint for safety reasons.
This journey to experience the grandeur of Thi Lo Su Waterfall was a true test of endurance. Continuous rain made the 25-kilometer paved road from Umphang to Ban Peung Leung, before reaching Thi Lo Su Waterfall, extremely slippery and treacherous. Only 4x4 vehicles with high ground clearance are recommended. Upon reaching the waterfall itself, a further 1.5-kilometer hike through pristine nature is required to reach the waterfall.
Besides tourists unlocking their adventure skills and experiencing nature through activities like rafting on the Mae Klong River and trekking, the people of Umphang and local vendors are beaming with joy, ready to welcome tourists. This aims to stimulate the economy and distribute income to the community. The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) Tak office also emphasized the importance of responsible tourism, refraining from littering, and helping to preserve this beautiful forest.
