Nam Tok Sai Yok น้ำตกไทรโยค
A classic Thai song Gained immortality by the way it eulogizes the idylic beauty of Sai Yok Falls. Now a part
of the National park, the falls are 104 kilometers from Kanchanaburi on the Asian Highway, which runs north
from Kanchanburi to its northern most district Sangkhla on the Thai-Burmese border. At Km. 104 is the left-hand
entrance to the Sai Yok National Park on the bank of Khwae Noi River. The Sai Yok Waterfalls are on the same
side of the river, to the left. To get the full visual impact of the waterfalls, a new high-tensile wire-rope suspension
bridge has been strung across just late last year for tourists to cross over for a view of the falls from the opposite
side. Accommodation in the form of raft houses by this bridge is provided for the tourists. Over on the other side
is a sand bank, from where Sai Yok Falls could be seen full face, and appreciated.
