@warren1816 in a few more weeks, I'll have another waterfall video up from this same national park. There is a man fishing in the stream of that waterfall, but I don't know for what. We had fish for lunch at that other location, cooked by some locals...on the bank of that river...but I did not recognize the fish species. In the lowlands, in this part of the world, the fish are enormous-Google "giant mekong catfish" or "giant freshwater stingray" -this video, however was up in the mountains.

@joelp63 just an update. The video I'm referring to is now up. It's the Nam Tok Mae Klang video.

What time of year is this at its' peak?

Looks beautiful.

Thanks for posting.

[joelp63]

@gjsterp the rainy season at Doi Inthanon Park, I believe, is June-September. This was filmed in mid-October of this year, although this year was unusually wet. The waterfall is also at fairly high altitude, I think around 650 meters elevation -which undoubtably means increased precipitation. If you continue up the the road from this point, you will reach the top of the mountain (Doi Inthanon); the highest point in Thailand. I believe the summit of Doi Inthanon gets 2.5 meters of rain yearly.
