Highlights of Kathu Waterfall in Phuket
The best time to visit Kathu Waterfall is from June to November when there's plenty of monsoon water. It's not advisable to go when it’s raining, as the stairs can get rather slippery. Once you reach the top, there’s a pool in which you can take a dip. You'll find several ‘drop pools’ stationed along the way up as well.
There are plenty of places selling snacks and bottled water at the entrance to Kathu Waterfall. The beauty of it all is that your visit to the waterfall can be as hard or as easy as you want it to be.
If you’re travelling with little ones, it's best to take it easy and go halfway up to the drop pool for a dip.
