Na Mueang 1 waterfalls

Namuang-1 Waterfall is located in Samui Namuang Safari Park, one of two waterfalls in the park. The waterfall has many layers, No. 1 Waterfall has a very big basin, suitable for swimming. The park also offers many tourist packages: The Jungle Adventure is a chance to ride on an elephant, and the Beach Vehicle Adventure takes you along the waterfall and through a tropical rainforest garden. There is also an exciting jungle cableway experience. Also, you could take a walking tour of the tropical rainforest garden. The entire adventure activity is accompanied by professionals.

Spilling down from the island's highest points, this is the first of two waterfalls – close to each other – that are lovely in full spate, pouring frigid water into rock pools as they crash downhill towards the blue sea. The larger of the two, at 18m in height, this is the most famous waterfall on Samui. During the rainy season, the water cascades over ethereal purple rocks, to land in a superb, large pool for swimming at the base.

Two cascades close together bear the name Na Mueang-1 Waterfall--or Purple Falls--so-called because of the colored sheen of the rocks. As you approach the falls, local guides will attempt to charge you for everything from elephant rides to monkey shows, but access costs nothing if you go on foot. There are several steep and slippery sections on the short trek there, however, be cautious. If you have any mobility issues, hire a ride in an all-terrain vehicle. At the falls, you can swim in the plunge pool if you don't mind the murky water. To visit Na Mueang-1 Waterfall and other attractions in Na Mueang
