Location : in Um Phang Wildilfe Sanctuary, approximately 42 km Um Phang town.
UM PHANG IS A DISTRICT WITH A GREAT PIECE OF LUSH FOREST that owns the 6th most beautiful waterfall of the world and the largest of Thailand, Tee Lor Su Waterfall.
TeeLor Su in Karen language means the black waterfall or the great, awesome waterfall. It proves to be the right name since this waterfall runs fiercely and is amazingly grand, especailly in rainy season. Originated from a stream called Huai Klo Tor, Tee Lor Su Waterfall is about 900m above average sea level. It is 500m wide and runs down in steps approximately 300m high. Surrounded by lush green forest level is a vast rocky ground where ones can relax and walk around, the secound level is a grand yellow limestone cliff covered with a curtain of water running down to the emerald green pond, whereas the third or the highest level is simply inaccessible for visitors due to the very strong current.
Tourists could not only watch the beauty of Tee Lor Su Waterfall from the front, but they can also trek to the beauty spot at another hill that is located right oppoisite to this fall. Although the path is prett steep, slippery, and exhausting, the reward is worth it. From this beauty spot, ones can clearly and fantastically see the whole Tee Lor Su Watherfall running down the towering cliff.
To visit the great Tee Lor Su Waterfall, you can either make it a one-day-trip and come back to spend the night at Um Phang town, or make a longer stay and spend the night in tent near the national park office. One thing you should bear in mind is, the road to this fall is very steep and winding. So if you are not a skilled driver and are not bringing a 4WD, it is a good idea to board a bus or buy a travel pachage in UM Phang town.
