History of Thi Lo Su
Thi Lo Su was discovered by the hunter from Karen (Thai : กะเหรี่ยง). The name Thi Lo in the native language means “waterfall” and Su mean “loud”, therefore, Thi Lo Su means the waterfall that makes a loud noise due to the size and the intense flow of the stream. In Karen, “Thi Lo Su” means Black Waterfall.
How to get there
To get there, visitors can either raft or drive. For those deciding to drive a 4WD vehicle, the distance is 47 kilometers from Umphang to the wildlife sanctuary office. From there, visitors have to walk along the 1.5 kilometers self-guided forest trail which provides unrivalled natural forest scenery. Please note that vehicles can possibly reach the office only during November to April. In the rainy season, Thi Lo Su is accessible only by rafting along Maenam Mae Klong. From the drop-off point, visitors have to continue on foot for approximately 4-5 hours.
Camping at the Wildlife Sanctuary Headquarters is allowed near the falls, especially during November December, when the waterfall is at its most beautiful.
Visitors are advised to make enquiries with the TAT Office in Tak Province (Tel: 05 551 4341-3) regarding travel conditions and camping opportunities.
