Nam Tok Drating (Waterfall of the Bull)

About 28 km (17 mi.) south-east of Chanthaburi, Nam Tok Krating ("Waterfall of the Bull") cascades 400 m (1313 ft) over rather curious rock formations. Another waterfall, Nam Tok Soi Dao, with a thermal spring close by, can be reached via Highway 317, passing through some superb tropical scenery on the way. The big favorite with local people however is the Nam Tok Praew waterfall (about 13 km (8mi.) south of Chanthaburi) where there is a pool suitable for swimming. This whole area is now a National Park (Khao Sor Bab National Park). Minibuses make regular runs from Chanthaburi town center.
