Those looking for a less touristy waterfall experience can head to Ban Nong Luang, 11km east of Paksong. From this village it's possible to take a local guide and walk to two fairly impressive waterfalls, the seven-tiered Tat Tha Jet and Tat Kameud.
To get to Ban Nong Luang, head east on Rte 16, then take the first right turn after Ban Won coffeeshop.
