Hin Lad Waterfall on Koh Samui rewards a roughly 30 minute jungle walk with two cooling freshwater pools at its base, and Dave breaks down the full hike in this video. Set near Lipa Noi among coconut plantations, it is a serene stop that is best visited during the rainy season.
The Hike In
Hin Lad Waterfall sits near the town of Lipa Noi, surrounded by dense jungle and coconut plantations. The walk in takes approximately 30 minutes, and Dave gives a decent breakdown of the trail in the video. At the entrance visitors will find a small temple and a few refreshment stands.
Swimming at the Falls
At the base of the waterfall are two cooling freshwater pools, and Dave gets in for a swim on camera. Hin Lad is a serene place that shows its best side during the rainy season, when the flow is strongest, and Dave calls it a must see, must do stop on Koh Samui. He enjoyed it, and he thinks you will too.
The Crazy Mushroom
Along the way Dave spots an unusual mushroom he cannot identify, and he asks viewers to name it in the comments. He also gives an early shout-out to his wife's new channel, a nice snapshot of how the whole family was getting started on YouTube at the same time.
