Mae Sa Waterfall

Mae Sa Waterfall is a ten-tiered waterfall located in Mae Raem Subdistrict, Mae Rim District, Chiang Mai Province, within Doi Suthep-Pui National Park. Situated about 26 kilometers northwest of Chiang Mai city along the Mae Rim–Samoeng road, it is known for its forested setting and stepped cascades ranging from small drops to larger falls. The site is a popular day-trip destination for swimming, picnicking, photography and short nature walks among shaded trails.

Visitors can expect a forested waterfall with 10 distinct tiers connected by a well-marked trail and steps through Doi Suthep-Pui National Park. Lower tiers (1-4) are easily accessible with swimming areas and picnic spots, while upper tiers require more walking and climbing. The surroundings are shaded by dense forest with streams, rocks, and small pools. Facilities include parking, toilets and food stalls near the entrance. Swimming and wading are possible in designated pools at several levels.

Mae Sa Waterfall lies within Doi Suthep-Pui National Park, established in 1981 as Thailand's 24th national park. The waterfall has long served as a local recreation area for residents of Mae Rim and Chiang Mai and was incorporated into the national park system for watershed and forest conservation.
