Visit Huay Kaew Waterfall (Chiang Mai)

It is the easiest and quickest accessible waterfall from downtown Chiang Mai. Located just after the Chiang Mai Zoo, it is accessed from the back of Wat Kruba Sivichai temple car park, which is just at the beginning of the road that climbs Doi Suthep mount. After the entrance you will arrive at the bottom of the waterfall with a few "basins" between the rocks. Children can play in the water safely there. The waterfall itself is a little further, less than 5 minutes walk (in all from the car park there is not even a 10 minute walk to get there), by taking the small path to the right of the bridge (just behind the ''Huay Kaew Waterfall'' sign). By climbing the waterfall in the prolongation of the path you will see a small path on the right which leads up to the top of the cascade. It is a visit that can easily make after visiting Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, to relax and refresh a little. Say 'Nam tok Huay Kaew' to the driver.

Just know that at the end of the dry season and beginning of the rainy season, the water level is often very low and the waterfall is sometimes dried out. The best months to have a real flow of water are generally from July to November.
