| Koh Chang accommodates
several waterfalls of different sizes, which all have
plenty of water at the end of the rainy season (Oct/Nov)
and are most delightful during this time.
The 4 most well-known can be reached by foot,
one or two however, under difficult conditions.
Good footwear should be worn and company is advisable
in case of a possible accident as no help can
be expected.
www.Ko-Chang.info
presents some pictures and directions in a clockwise
direction beginning with Khlong Plu Waterfalls.
Khlong Plu Waterfall (also:
Khlong Prao Waterfall):
The branching to the waterfall is at the main
road between Baan Khlong
Prao and the northern end of Khlong Prao
Beach. A 2 kilometre concrete road leads to the
Marine-Park-Office. There you will find a few
small restaurants and here you also have to pay
the entrance fee of 200 Baht for foreigners or
20 Baht for locals. After approximately 500 metres
walk, you arrive at the foot of the falls which
are about 20 metres high. Here you will find a
pool suitable to bathe in.
Just before you reach the pool there is a small
path on the right which is not very well marked.
After 15 minutes walk on this path you reach the
top of the main falls where more pools can be
found, also suitable for a refreshing dip. A beautiful
view down to the sea also awaits the visitor.
(Good footwear is an advantage!)
In 8 - 10 hours one can walk in company of a Ranger
to the Than Mayom Waterfall on the east coast
of Koh Chang (see 'Sights',
'National-Marine-Park'). Only the more
experienced trekkers should try this path alone
and should get good documents beforehand at the
Tourist-Information or at the National-Marine-Park-Offices. |
Than
Mayom Waterfall: This waterfall consists
of 3 individual levels of different sizes. The first
can be reached in 10 minutes simply by foot from
the entrance. Here there are 2 pools in which one
can take a refreshing bath. In another 30 minutes
a rough and narrow path leads up to two further
falls. The third fall is called the King Rama Waterfall.
Treks to Khlong-Plu-Waterfall are possible (see
above 'Khlong Plu Waterfall').
The admission fee for a visit is also 200 Baht for
foreigners and 20 Baht for Thais. At the beginning
of the path to the waterfall (approximately 300
metres from the road) a small shady restaurant with
a parking lot and sanitary facilities is situated. |

Ke Rhepet Waterfall
(also Khiri Phet Waterfall
or Tri Petch Waterfall):
From Baan Salak Phet
a more or less easily passable jungle track leads,
after 1.5 kilometres, to the beginning of a footpath.
After a few hundred metres, one reaches the first
level of the 12-storey-waterfall, where a small
pool to bathe in waits for you. The further levels
of the waterfalls are reached over a very difficult
adventurous path from where you have a breath-taking
view over Salak Phet Bay (see 'Sights',
'Viewpoints').
|
| Khlong
Nung Waterfall: After 3.5 kilometres on a
jungle track one reaches the footpath, which leads
after another 500 metres to the waterfall. However,
this way is rather difficult. |
