A well-defined trail through Phuket's last remaining virgin rainforest leading to the Ton Sai Waterfall — a multi-tiered cascade with swimming pools at its base. The trail passes through thick jungle with banyan trees, ferns, and resident gibbons and macaques. The waterfall is most impressive during and shortly after the rainy season (July–November).
