About this place

Getting to Umphang requires navigating 1,219 curves through mountain jungle on one of Thailand's most challenging roads. The reward is Thi Lo Su, Thailand's largest waterfall, cascading 300 meters through pristine forest. The area is home to Karen hill tribe villages, limestone caves, and some of Thailand's last wild elephants. Multi-day trekking and rafting trips access areas few tourists ever see.
