Tan Rua Waterfall

A Serene Escape in Koh Samui

Tan Rua Waterfall, also known as "Elephant Waterfall," is a tranquil, secluded gem nestled in Koh Samui’s lush jungle, offering a peaceful escape from the crowds. A short 10-15 minute hike from the main road leads to the waterfall, which cascades gently over rocks into small natural pools, perfect for a refreshing dip.

Surrounded by dense jungle, this serene spot provides a quiet retreat for nature lovers, ideal for relaxation, photography, or enjoying a picnic on the flat rocks near the falls.

Best Time to Visit:
For the fullest flow, visit during the rainy season (May–October). Early mornings or late afternoons are the best times for a quieter experience, though it remains peaceful in the dry season too.

Practical Information:
Entrance fee: 30-50 THB. The trail can be steep and slippery, so sturdy footwear is advised.
