The pavilion has been renovated as a memorial of the royal visits. Near the stream<br />
find royal initials in Chinese of King Chulalongkorn and numerals 119. The inscriptions<br />
are the last set found along this historical stream. As for the four ‘Jankapho’ (Vatica<br />
diospyroides) trees recorded to have been planted by King Chulalongkorn at<br />
the pavilion, they no longer exist.<br />
The best time to visit Than Sadet Waterfall is at the end of the rainy season<br />
or in January when there is more water seen than in the other months. In the dry<br />
season, the amount of water in the falls is quite low, but the waterfall is still worth<br />
a visit for those who are interested in history or long for a rest in pristine forest.<br />
As for ‘Than Praphat’ Waterfall, the 4-km access road is reachable only by 4-wheel<br />
drive vehicles with several hills to cross, and road conditions are not good.<br />
To access Than Prawet Waterfall, visitors have to take the road branching out<br />
from a bend that goes to Thong Nai Pan Beach. The road heads to Hat Khuat Beach<br />
and the waterfall is only 300 meters away from the bend. Recommended vehicles<br />
are pick-up trucks only due to laterite road surface. At present, the two waterfalls<br />
have water only in the rainy season and are not attractive.<br />
