Ton Nga Chang Wildlife Sanctuary

Ton Nga Chang Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected forest area in Thung Tam Sao, Hat Yai District, Songkhla Province, southern Thailand, about 26 km west of Hat Yai city. Established in 1978, it covers approximately 182 square kilometers of lowland rainforest in the Sankalakhiri Range. It is best known for the seven-tier Ton Nga Chang Waterfall, named for an elephant-tusk-shaped rock, and for its biodiversity, hiking trails, and natural swimming pools.

Visitors can expect a forested wildlife sanctuary centered on the seven-tier Ton Nga Chang Waterfall. Lower tiers (1-3) are easily accessible via paved paths and steps with clear pools suitable for wading and swimming, while upper tiers require steep, forested hiking trails. The surroundings are dense lowland rainforest with picnic areas, viewpoints, and opportunities to observe birds, butterflies and small wildlife. Facilities are basic and focused on nature-based recreation.
