Na Muang Waterfall

Na Muang Waterfall is a well-known natural attraction in Na Mueang subdistrict on Ko Samui Island, Surat Thani Province, Thailand. It consists of two cascades, Na Muang 1 and Na Muang 2, set in forested hills in the island's interior. The falls are noted for distinctive purple-hued rock faces that give the site its name and for natural pools at the base. It is one of Ko Samui's most visited waterfalls, accessible by road and short hiking trails.

Visitors can expect two distinct waterfalls in a forested mountain setting in central Ko Samui. Na Muang 1 is an 18-meter cascade with a large natural pool at its base, reached by a paved road and short walk with nearby food stalls and parking. Na Muang 2 is an 80-meter cascade higher up the hill, reached by a steep 20-30 minute hike through jungle on uneven, rocky steps. The area offers jungle scenery, viewpoints, swimming areas at the base pools when water levels permit, and photo opportunities of the purple-tinged cliffs.

The waterfall's name derives from the Thai words na muang meaning purple, referring to the purple shade of its rock faces. It has long been a prominent natural landmark on Ko Samui and is among the island's earliest and most documented waterfalls for visitors.

The waterfall is a well-known local natural attraction and recreational site for residents and visitors, valued for its scenic forest setting and traditional association with the island's interior landscape.
