Mostly known for its pristine beaches, Trang's gorgeous waterfalls often get overlooked by visitors and tourists. Ton Pliw is deep in the dense jungle of Khao Chong Wildlife Development and Conservation National Park and has a delightful 50-meter trek to reach it.

The highest tier has the tallest waterfall and is breath-taking when swimming at the base. The incredible experience about this level is being able to walk up on this gorgeous waterfall through its rock-filled stream. The swimmable pool is 4ft at its deepest and the power of the falls require an intermediate level of swimming. This top level is difficult to reach for people with stability issues due to the slippery surface of the steep rocky path.

The mid-level is perfect for children and seniors although it takes a little bit of effort to reach. With help from the group or family members, this should be much of a problem if they're already able to make the 50-meter trek to the waterfalls.

The swimmable pool is 3ft at its deepest and small kids to young teens are perfectly safe as long as they have some type of swimming abilities.

The bottom level is the main point of interest for me each visit because of the amazing natural slider. The algae build-up make the slide pain free as long as you can control your body's position upon entry if you're a heavier set adult. There's a huge boulder at the base but the fact that sliding down the waterfalls of paradise makes me feel like a young teen again. This slider always makes me fall back in love with nature again, year after year.
