Waterfalls on Koh ChangWaterfalls situated near the office of Koh Chang National Park, Thanmayom Waterfall is the largest waterfall in the island and also a major source of water for islanders. The four-tier waterfall has a historical significance to the locals as it was visited by two Thai kings in the early twentieth century. Even though the fall can be accessed throughout the year, it looks more picturesque in the cool season. Most people stay around the first and second tier of the fall because the path to the third and fourth tiers is too steep and slippery. Klong Plu Waterfall is another popular tourist attraction for those who stay near Had Klong Prao or Had Kai Bae. The fall is only 3 kilometres from Had Klong Prao and reached by road. The first tier of the fall is the best spot for a dip or relaxation since it has a small pool under the canopy of lush green trees. Like Thanmayom Waterfall, Klong Phu Waterfall is at its best in the cool season which starts from November until February. Than Mayom WaterfallOn the east coast of the island, Than Mayom has two famous stones with the inscriptions of King Rama VI and King Rama VII. At the top of the falls (about a 45 mins along the footpath) is a great view over the island. Klong Phu WaterfallAbout an hours walk from either Klong Prao Beach or Kai Bae Beach, but certainly worth the effort! Once you get there you can swim in the pool at the bottom of the 20m falls. Note: Baht 200 entrance fee for tourists (Baht 20 Thais). Klong Nueng WaterfallFalling from a height of over 100m, is a great spot to chill out and relax. Arguably the most beautiful of all Koh Chang's waterfalls.  Map of Koh Chang (Trat, Thailand)
