Koh Samui has several popular waterfalls, ideal for swimming. The most famous are the Namuang Waterfalls: Namuang Waterfall 1, which is 18 meters high, and Namuang Waterfall 2, which is 80 meters high. Both are located in the jungle in the southern part of the island. You’ll find Namuang Waterfall 1 first, and by climbing higher, you’ll reach Namuang Waterfall 2. Additionally, consider visiting the lesser-known Wang Sao Thong and Hin Lad Waterfalls. 😉
