Na Muang 2 Waterfall

Na Muang 2 Waterfall is an inland cascade in Na Mueang, Koh Samui, reached by a steep jungle hike. The climb brings you to rocky viewpoints over the surrounding forest, and, when water is flowing, a natural pool. Conditions at the falls can change with the season, so the pool may be dry; the views still make the uphill walk worthwhile. Wear sturdy shoes, bring water and insect repellent, and take care on slippery rocks. This route suits active visitors more than anyone seeking an easy stroll.

The climb to the falls

Na Muang 2 is reached by a steep path through jungle, with rocky sections that call for sturdy footwear and care underfoot. The uphill hike takes about 30 to 40 minutes. Visitors describe holding ropes on parts of the climb; take your time and use caution, especially where the rocks are slippery.

The approach can be challenging, particularly for anyone not used to hiking. The road to the trailhead is steep too, so riding a motorbike there may not suit inexperienced riders.

Views and seasonal water

The climb leads to viewpoints across Koh Samui’s jungle and rock formations. A natural pool at the falls can provide a place to cool off when water is flowing, but it may be dry in some seasons. Even without water in the pool, the views from higher up remain a reason to continue the walk.

Na Muang 2 is separate from Na Muang 1, the other waterfall in the area. The first waterfall is easier to reach; Na Muang 2 involves a more demanding uphill route. Arriving early can mean a quieter visit. Carry drinking water and insect repellent for the hike.
