愛侶灣國家公園位於泰國北碧府,是個非常值得一訪的景點!園區內共有7個瀑布,景色非常迷人。門票價格對非泰國籍的成人為300泰銖,建議一早就進園,這樣可以好好享受整天的美好時光。 如果您熱愛健行、登山或體能狀況極佳,可能會覺得行程稍顯簡單,因為如果不包含玩水的部分,整趟行程大約只需1至1.5小時。不過,如果您更偏好輕鬆的步道和愜意的散步,這裡應該非常適合。 我是在乾季造訪的,瀑布的水量稍顯不足,有些地方甚至幾乎無水,稍微可惜。但從周圍的環境和瀑布的地形來看,我相信在雨季時,這裡的景象一定會讓人驚嘆不已,美得讓人流連忘返!

No water since it’s not rainy season. Be prepared to climb up if you want to reach tier 7. For us it took about 45 minutes to climb up. Bring lots of water. I think this place will look great in rainy season. When we reached up tier 7, it was full of honeybees landing on us. Very little water there to swim and the fish in the water keeps pinching your legs.

The water is clear, the fish come to pay their respects under the water, and there are many officers taking care of them.

You have to come early in the morning for the water to be clear. Come the afternoon and the water will be very turbid. We stayed at the park and when it opened at 7:00 AM, we started walking to the upper floors. The water is very clear. There are enough places to swim on the 7th floor. But there are a lot of fish, big ones like to nibble. Make foreigners wear two-piece slits one at a time. You can stop by every floor. Floors 3 and 5 are beautiful. Most people play on floors 1-3. Because it's not far to walk Life jackets are available for rent. It is a rule that must be entered here. Plastic is prohibited.
