About Than Mayom Waterfall (Nam Tok Than Mayom)
This multi-tier waterfall sits over on the quiet east coast near the park headquarters, and it carries real historical weight for Thais: the initials of Kings Rama V and Rama VII are carved into the rocks here. That royal significance sets it apart from the island's other falls.
Because it's on the far east side, far fewer people make the trip, so it feels more peaceful than the west-coast falls. The upper tiers take a bit of a climb to reach, so come ready for some effort.
Worth the journey if you have your own transport. Getting here on shared taxis is a hassle since few run the east road.
Highlights
- Multi-tier waterfall on the quiet east coast
- Royal initials of Kings Rama V and Rama VII carved in the rock

- Upper tiers reward a short climb
Tips
- You'll want a scooter or private charter, shared taxis are scarce on the east road
- Come on a weekday to avoid Thai weekend crowds
- Flow is fuller in the rainy months, roughly Jun-Nov
- Be ready for a bit of a climb to reach the upper tiers
How to get there
On the quieter east coast near the park headquarters at Dan Mai. About 30-40 min by taxi from the west-coast beaches; easiest with a rented scooter or a private/charter songthaew as few shared taxis run the east road.
