This waterfall is quite popular among the Thais, who gladly come here on weekends to swim and then have lunch at one of the local restaurants.




Ton Prai Waterfall




Perhaps, Ton Prai is one of the largest waterfalls on the island. The waterfall flows by the slope of the cliff 25 meters high and consists of three levels.

I thought in Phuket you can only swim and sunbathe, but it turns out so much entertainment, and there are still waterfalls. Never seen them before.
