Sai Yoke or Sai Yok Waterfall and

National Park

Sai Yoke or Sai Yok Waterfall and National Park a few km from Kanchanaburi is pretty water game or Nam Tok in Thai.

Also easy to access since the Sai Yoke or Sai Yok noi waterfall is just beside the road from Kanchanaburi to the 3 pagoda pass.

The ride from Bangkok is only about 3 hours and that means if the weather is fine the sun out and maybe weekend many weekender are around..

Some big buses and minibuses are around all the time and behind the usual souvenir shops is a breathtaking panorama.

A beautiful site which should be included in every Bangkok trip, if you wont go there you will miss something.

At this waterfall nobody charges entrance fee since the waterfall is not integrated into the Sai Yoke or Sai Yok national park, the Sai Yoke or Sai Yok NP is further up the road.

The waterfall has more or less only 1 quite high level fall as you can see in the pictures looks real pretty and every day lots of people from the area around and from Bangkok enjoy the time. The waterfall basin is quite large which is a ideal place for swimming, in particular when Thai hot summer time on from April to June.

Beside the waterfall is a marvelous spirit house, with incense burning plus a old locomotive beside the old railway station. That was part of the original "dead railway" built during world war II.

Sai Yoke or Sai Yok waterfall in Kanchanaburi province is just about  100 meters of the dark blue River Kwai one of the most famous river in Thailand. The movie TheBridge over River Kwai" from David Lean made this Thailand place famous, more of the bridge and the history of the River Kwai bridge is here.

Trekking and rafting on and along the river is offered by some travel agents and in the hotels and resorts along the River Kwai.

The Sai Yoke or Sai Yok Waterfall just a few km outside of Kanchanaburi town

is somehow a different waterfall since most of the water runs down the blank limestone and only a part falls. This gives the Sai Yoke or Sai Yok Waterfall in Kanchanaburi Thailand its unique appearance.

Together with the River Kwai just beside, actually behind  the other side of the road, its a great outdoor waterfall experience.

Plenty of  bungalow cluster, guesthouses, hotels and river resorts along the River Kwai invite to stay, with huge Bangkok so near and such a great location good business is almost automatically.

The buses from Bangkok come in by the dozen, plenty of Thai tourists enjoy a swim in the basin of Say Yoke Waterfall. Most women splash into the water with the cloth on, its not usual in Thailand to show to much.

Another sightseeing spot on the road out of Kanchanaburi to the Say Yoke Waterfall is for sure the bridge over the River Kwai, thousands of foreigners and Thai travel there every year to have a look.

A couple of kilometers off Say Yoke Waterfall is the Erawan Waterfall, one of the absolute highlights for every visitor to Thailand and naturally to the local Thai.

The weather is quite good all over the year and no need for a travel guide, everything is open here in Kanchanaburi.

Only the entry fee to the Erawan falls are a little bit  strange, it Baht 200,- per foreigner, Thais pay Baht 50,-.
