It means sand or sandy beach. However, it was assumed that the name of Namtok Phlio came from one kind of plant that grows in sandy loam, which is a type of vine producing small fruit of a raisin size in a reddish yellow colour, and it generally grows in this area. Namtok Phlio is a large waterfall with water all-year round. The water is so clear that the ground can be seen. The soil is mostly sandy loam.
