Overview
Dai Yem, or the Silk Veil Waterfall, drops in two tiers into a forest valley. The upper fall is wide and the lower is about 60 m high, and a stairway leads down to a viewing platform near the water.
The area has a glass bridge, a cable car and a small park at the top, so it can be busy at weekends. The water is strongest in the rainy season, and in the dry season it is thinner but still pleasant.
Highlights
- Walk the stairway to the lower falls
- Cross the glass bridge at the top
- See the two-tier waterfall
- Eat local snacks at the stalls
