Paradise Waterfall Koh Phangan is definitely worth a stop even in dry season. From rope swings to interacting with local kids, here’s all you need to know.
How To Get To Paradise Waterfall Koh Phangan
Paradise Waterfall Koh Phangan is located straight up the middle of the island along Chaloklum Road. The drive to the top is super smooth and all completely tarmac.
It’s just a five minute drive from Phaeng Waterfall and was our favourite of the Koh Phangan Waterfalls.
If you’re looking for transport to and from Koh Phangan, you can pre-book all of your Lomprayah transfers.
We stayed in the Thong Sala area of Koh Phangan and rented scooters for 180 Baht per day.
It’s definitely the easiest way to explore the island and took roughly 20 minutes to reach Paradise Waterfall Koh Phangan from Thong Sala Pier.

Best Time To Visit Paradise Waterfall + Tips
The best time to visit any waterfalls in Koh Phangan is just after the monsoon season or after a heavy rainfall.
Monsoon season runs from July – September. However, there can still be heavy rainfall in other months making the waterfalls worth a visit.
However, Paradise Waterfall is still worth a visit during dry season, as we found out!
What To Pack
What To Expect At Paradise Waterfall Koh Phangan
Paradise Waterfall Koh Phangan was definitely our favourite Koh Phangan waterfall.
Although there wasn’t really any fast flowing water due to dry season, the place had a real good vibe.
There were locals jumping from a rope swing and the kids were having a real good time interacting with the tourists.
The younger ones were teaching all the tourists how to backflip from the rope swings and they certainly showed us how it’s done.
Paradise Waterfall Koh Phangan had a very communal feel to it. On the way in, the lady on the entrance was very kind and the locals were not intimidating in any way.
There is a restaurant right at the entrance too, so if you get peckish after a tiring afternoon rope swinging, you’re in good hands.
This Koh Phangan waterfall doesn’t require any kind of hike. The falls are right next to the car park.
After you turn off at the sign to Paradise Waterfall, the road is uphill and a little rocky. So please be careful if you’re on bikes!
Although It Wasn’t Wet Season
We figured that the best time to visit any Koh Phangan Waterfall is just after monsoon season or after a heavy rainfall.
Of all the waterfalls on the island, Paradise Waterfall Koh Phangan was our favourite. Even though we didn’t experience the full impact of the falls, the swimming hole at the bottom was an awesome afternoon outing!
If you’re looking to visit a Phaeng Waterfall at its best however, we recommend you skip it in dry season.
It’s said to be monsoon season from July through to September and you can weigh up your options when you’re visiting.
