Private Tour in Ubon: Trekking and Exploring the Beauty of Phu Chong-Na Yoi (2 Days 1 Night)

We will pick you up at the airport or your designated meeting point and take you to pay respects at revered temples in Ubon Ratchathani, including Wat Pa Yai and Wat Thung Si Mueang, both sacred landmarks cherished by locals.

Afterward, we depart for Phu Chong–Na Yoi National Park, located across Buntharik and Na Chaluai districts in Ubon Ratchathani Province. This mountain range serves as an essential watershed feeding key rivers and streams throughout Ubon Ratchathani.

The highlight of visiting Phu Chong–Na Yoi is admiring the beauty of "Huai Luang Waterfall," also known as "Tham Bak Teo Waterfall." This magnificent cascade plunges from a rocky cliff approximately 40 meters high into the pool below. Beneath the cliff, there is a rocky passage where you can walk down to admire the waterfall up close, watching the curtain of water stream down like rain falling from the eaves of a roof. You can also take a dip in the pool beneath the falls. The cascading water creates a gentle sandy beach bordered by lush, shady forest, making it a uniquely picturesque natural beach in the heart of the woods.

Huai Luang Waterfall is at its most spectacular during the late rainy season and early winter. During the rainy season (June – May), the volume of water is so abundant that the thunderous roar of the falls reverberates across the entire forest.

From the pool at the base of Huai Luang Waterfall, you can walk along the stream for just 100 meters to visit "Pra-on La-or Waterfall," also known as Jumjim Waterfall. Located just downstream from Huai Luang Waterfall, this is a charming and beautiful small waterfall cascading down a gentle cliff with a wide curtain of water. Its pool is ideal for swimming and enjoying a natural water massage, surrounded by lush, cool forest.

Another wonderful spot to relax and swim is "Kaeng Kalao," a rocky stream that splits into 2 streams, creating a small islet in the middle. The national park has arranged relaxation areas here, making it ideal for a picnic by the water. From Kaeng Kalao, there is a short nature trail to admire various plants all the way to Kaeng Son Sam Phan Pi. In the Kaeng Son Sam Phan Pi area, you can take a bamboo raft to enjoy the greenery along the canal; you can arrange for park guides and bamboo rafts at the visitor center.

In addition to a day trip to visit Huai Luang Waterfall and Kaeng Kalao, September to October is when wild blooms begin to carpet the rocky plateaus. Visiting during this time is well worth it, as you will get to see both the stunning flow of Huai Luang Waterfall and fields of wildflowers such as Silver Button (Kradum Ngoen), Golden Button (Kradum Thong), Soi Suwanna, Dusita, Mani Thewa, and Saraschan in abundance. The rocky plateau areas where wildflower fields can be found include Phalan Hin Pa Chat and Phalan Kong Kwian. Further uphill is a hilltop viewpoint offering breathtaking sunset panoramas.

The climate of Phu Chong–Na Yoi National Park is divided into 3 seasons: the rainy season (around June to November), the cool/winter season (around December to February), and the summer/hot season (around March to May). The weather is generally pleasant and not overly hot year-round, with another distinctly cold period during the winter season.

In addition, there is "Kaeng Lamduan," a regular rocky rapid with a special distinction as an Unseen in Thailand attraction: it is a viewing spot for parading freshwater shrimp, which can be seen at night only between August and September. It is truly a natural wonder not to be missed.

The weather is generally pleasant and cool throughout the year, turning especially crisp and chilly at Phu Chong–Na Yoi during the winter season. In February, the month of love, even though the waterfall flow is lighter and there are no parading shrimp to see, taking a relaxed walk through nature and pitching a tent to sleep is wonderfully sweet and romantic! ^_^
