About Mo Paeng Waterfall
Pai's go-to swimming waterfall, and the big draw is the natural rock slide, that smooth run of stone you can slip down into the pool below. It's a fun afternoon, especially when the water's flowing well from the end of the rainy season into the cool months.
A real word of caution though: those rocks are genuinely slippery and people do get hurt here. Test your footing, don't horse around near the edges, and watch kids closely.
It gets busy in high season, and late in the dry season the flow can drop to a trickle, which takes the fun out of the slide. Time your visit for good water.
