Bang Pae Waterfall

If all the ruckus of Phuket's bustling towns is leaving you yearning for a little bit of peace and quiet, it might be the ideal time to venture off to the tranquility of Bang Pae Waterfall. Admission prices to the park containing this natural attraction vary depending on time of day, but should not set you back more than BHT200. The best time to see the waterfall itself is after the area has experienced some rain. However, even in the dry season you can spend some time learning about endangered monkeys at the Gibbon Rehabilitation Center located on site. Jump or carefully lower yourself on in to the icy pool at the bottom of the waterfall to beat the tropical heat. - Martin English
