The Na Muang falls lie south of the island’s central peaks, at about the midway point between the two coasts. A paved entrance road leads off the main street connecting Hua Thanon, south of Lamai, to Nathon. There are actually two tiers to the falls. The higher tier requires some trekking, on foot or elephant, to reach.

The lower tier is 30 meters high with water cascading over a sheer rock face into a deep pool that can be nice for swimming if there aren’t too many other people.
Along the path leading to the falls from the parking area are several souvenir stalls as well as some food stalls that can prepare ‘real’ Thai food at quite reasonable prices compared to many of the island’s restaurants.

The chedi sits right on the beach, which in front of the chedi is quite rocky and wild, with great chunks of driftwood thrown about. To the east of the chedi, the beach is a bit more sandy, and often almost deserted. There used to be some bungalows here, with the unlikely name of ‘Waikiki‘, but they went out of business and the stretch has just a few private homes on it.
