Umpang & Tee Lor Su Waterfall
About the page
Tee Lor Su (sometimes transliterated as "The Lor Sue", "Thee Lor Sue" or "Te-law-zue") is the highest waterfall in Thailand and one of the highest in Asia. It is located in Tak province in North-western Thailand close to the Burmese boarder. Umpang (sometimes "Um Pang" or "Um Phang") is the nearest town and point of departure for Tee Lor Su and the other attractions in the area.
This page has been put together by Dr. Frank Gregory and Napat Tantisayree. The aim is to provide basic information and a fairly extensive photographic record for potential visitors.
This index page links to four main sections:
This shows where it is and how do get there. The road from Mae Sot gives excellent views of the mountains dividing Thailand and Burma, it also passes the Pa Jalearn waterfall.
It is possible to travel close to Tee Lor Su on a rubber or bamboo raft. The route passes the Tee Lor Cho waterfall.
The final stage is along an elephant trail through the forest.
The web page was put together in 2000 so much of the information may now be out of date. A blog page has been added in the hope that readers might update some of the information.
