Tan Rua is Koh Samui’s third-largest waterfall. However, because it is tucked away in the bush, it is rarely crowded. Because the waterfall is hidden in the woods, it is often known as Secret Falls.
The waterfall is nestled between cliffs, trees, and vines, which makes it difficult to locate. However, once you sight the waterfall, you will realize the hunt was worth it.
The charming waterfall is deep and breathtaking. There is a pool at the bottom, which is full during the rainy season and for a few months afterward. However, swimming in the water is not recommended due to the presence of rocks and vines.
The waterfall offers amazing vistas and is a must visit for adventurous and nature lovers. The place is lush, and you can enjoy the calm breeze while relaxing near the waterfall.
There is a café about 250 meters away from the waterfall that offers excellent food and stunning views. There is also a zip line for those wanting to experience Koh Samui from the tree tops.

Wat Phra Khao (วัดพระขาว), located in Phra Khao Subdistrict, Bang Ban District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province, is an ancient active Buddhist temple believed to have been established during the Ayutthaya period (likely around the mid-18th century AD, with some estimates placing it circa 1707 AD based on traditional accounts). The temple’s name derives from its principal Buddha image, Luang Pho Khao (หลวงพ่อขาว), a large stucco statue painted white that has been venerated since ancient times.
The temple received its official wisungkhamasima (consecrated ordination hall boundary) on September 27, 1927 AD. Unlike many temples in central Ayutthaya that were destroyed in the fall of the kingdom in 1767 AD, Wat Phra Khao survived largely intact, preserving rare Ayutthaya-era kasat lai rot nam (gold leaf stencil murals) inside the ubosot—considered some of the finest and most elaborate examples from that period. These intricate wall paintings, along with ...
