Waterfall Lat Wanon

The climb is not difficult but the rocks, foliage and the water can make the path there a little slippy. Trekking to the Lat Wanon Waterfall Samui is 30 minutes through the thick jungle – and is well worth it. Not actually a waterfall but rocks and boulders with water flowing down the rocks. Small rock pools are an opportunity for a cooling dip at the waterfall.  Children can paddle and play in the natural pools at the base of the waterfall. For some peace in a natural surrounding amongst lush vegetation a perfect spot. Photographers can capture some of the real Koh Samui away from the busy tourist attractions.
