About this audio guide
This guide to Huay To Waterfall on Khao Phanom Bencha, Krabi's highest peak, follows the dispute over how many tiers the cascade actually has: park signage says five, tour listings say seven, Thailand's own tourism directory counts eleven. You'll hear the old names for each named pool, from Wang Sam Hap at the base up to Wang Ton Prai, and why the surrounding rainforest has doubled as prehistoric jungle in Hollywood films. Listen for the Gurney's pitta, one of Thailand's rarest birds, somewhere in the canopy overhead.
