Pha Dok Siew Waterfall was one of the highlights of our trips around Chiang Mai. The hike through the forest was beautiful, with plenty of scenery along the way, and the waterfall itself was definitely worth the trek. It’s a great place to get away from the busier tourist spots and experience some of the natural beauty of Northern Thailand. I’d recommend going with comfortable shoes, especially during the rainy season, as some parts of the trail can be slippery. Overall, a beautiful experience and definitely worth visiting if you’re in the area!
