About this audio guide
This guide to Wachirathan Waterfall on Doi Inthanon traces its two names: Tat Khong Yong, sacred to the Karen hill tribe for generations, and Wachirathan, diamond creek, given later in honor of the future King Rama the Tenth. It follows the eighty-meter cascade's spray and the rainbows it throws in sunlight, the flash of color locals compare to a gem. Listen for it at the base of the falls, where the mist decides how close you'll get.
