The 2026 rainy season is the perfect time to soak up lush green forests and beautiful waterfalls. For content creators or anyone who doesn't want to travel far, here are 5 waterfall spots near Bangkok — all within 1.5-3 hours by car — where you can enjoy cool mist and plenty of natural beauty.

1. Khao Chong Lom Waterfall, Nakhon Nayok

Highlight: A beautiful waterfall you can visit on a day trip from Bangkok. Green grass grows across the hills and rocks, surrounding the clear stream, earning it the nickname "Thailand's Switzerland." You'll need to take a long-tail boat across Khun Dan Prakan Chon Dam to get there. The forest is especially lush in the rainy season, making it perfect for photos.
