Pala-U waterfalls
Pala-U is a 16-level waterfall along a creek stretching out to the Burmesian border. It's about 60 km west of Hua Hin. It's in the south end of Kaeng Krachan national park (Thailands biggest national park), so if you're not a Thai citizen you have to pay an entrance of 200 Bath.
There is also an elephant camp, at the left side of the park entrance. This is a better deal than the ones in Hua Hin, since the jungle is more genuine and only half the price. 500 Bath/elephant (2 persons) for a 45 minutes ride and a small show. You don't have to pay the park entrance fee to do this ride.
Most visitors are turning back after the third level. I rekommend you to keep on gonig as far as your physics allow you to.
Watch out for; slippery stones, muddy track during rain, mosquitos, leeches. I was also told there are tigers and black panters in the area. I don't know if that's true.
To get there; rent a car or a motorbike (the best way in my opinion), get a taxi or let the hotel staff arrange the trips. The touts along the Hua Hin streets can be overpriced. Sunseekertours charges 950 Bath/person for a daytrip incl transportation, entrance fee and lunch, a good deal if you don't want to arrange the trip by yourself.
Bring water for this trip, you'll need it.
And, keep the park clean!
