The pavilion has been renovated as a memorial of the royal visits. Near the stream
find royal initials in Chinese of King Chulalongkorn and numerals 119. The inscriptions
are the last set found along this historical stream. As for the four ‘Jankapho’ (Vatica
diospyroides) trees recorded to have been planted by King Chulalongkorn at
the pavilion, they no longer exist.

The best time to visit Than Sadet Waterfall is at the end of the rainy season
or in January when there is more water seen than in the other months. In the dry

season, the amount of water in the falls is quite low, but the waterfall is still worth
a visit for those who are interested in history or long for a rest in pristine forest.
As for ‘Than Praphat’ Waterfall, the 4-km access road is reachable only by 4-wheel
drive vehicles with several hills to cross, and road conditions are not good.

To access Than Prawet Waterfall, visitors have to take the road branching out
from a bend that goes to Thong Nai Pan Beach. The road heads to Hat Khuat Beach
and the waterfall is only 300 meters away from the bend. Recommended vehicles
are pick-up trucks only due to laterite road surface. At present, the two waterfalls
have water only in the rainy season and are not attractive.
