Patong Municipality had the idea with our local community to make Wang Kee On waterfall the new eco-tourism destination for both locals and tourists, right in the heart of Patong. “On March 11, 1959 King Bhumibol Adulyadej paid a visit to the waterfall during his trip to Patong. Wirun Kingkaew, a local Patong resident and a volunteer developing the waterfall site, said he was very glad to be part of reviving the waterfall for the Patong community and visitors. “Fortunately, Patong Municipality approved a budget to separate wastewater drainage from the waterfall. The municipality and residents are also building nine small dams at the waterfall making the water clear and clean as in the old days.”
