Chat Trakan Waterfall

A couple weekends ago was our first vacation to Namtok Chat Trakan National Park near the city of Phitsanulok. We went there to see waterfalls, we saw six of the seven waterfalls!

Our journey begins for our vacation the Friday night, we were going to the waterfalls on Saturday. We dropped our items off at our hotel and we went to Central Plaza (a mall in Phitsanulok), we found out they were closed after we were there so we went to McDonalds instead and went back to our hotel right after. We were going to be taking a lot of taxi's and tuk-tuks this weekend.

This is a tuk-tuk.

On Saturday we woke up headed to the bus station, got on a bus that was three hours long, and we were on our way to the waterfall. We were expecting a two hour bus ride, so when it ended up being three hours we didn't know when to get off. We got off at a bigger bus station even though we were not there yet, we decided we didn't know where we were going and we were going to head back, but when we stepped off the bus everyone knew where we were going and told us to get back on, telling us and pointing to the bus "Chat Trakan, Chat Trakan!" At least we knew that we were going the right way, when we arrived at the Chat Trakan bus stop we got off and a tuk-tuk driver told us to get in, not even questioning him where he was taking us we got in. He ended up taking us to the National Park though! Yay!!! We made it after a three hour bus ride, a couple taxi's, and many tuk-tuks later and a lot more to go!

We were so excited to see the waterfalls! The hike was straight up, but it was worth it!
These are three out of six waterfalls we saw!


We walked underneath this waterfall, it was so fun!
