The fourth level of Tam Mayom waterfall is some distance away and although not many visitors get to see this level. it is well worth the walk if you like trekking.

Nang Yom Waterfall

Nang Yom is located to the north east of Koh Chang near to the town of Dan Mai. Nang Yom is a small waterfall with several cascades.

The Waterfall can be reached by following the trail that runs behind Dan Mai Police Station. The trail is about an hour long and we recommend wearing long trousers as the undergrowth in this area can cause an itchy rash.

Khiri Phet Waterfall

Khiri Phet is located about 2 kilometres from the fishing village of Salak Phet in the south east of Koh Chang.

Khiri Phet is medium sized waterfall with 2 levels in the rainy season and up to 7 levels in the dry season, when there is less water. There is water in the falls all year round and a pool to swim in on the bottom level.

From Salak Phet follow the jungle track for about 1.5 Kilo meters to the beginning of a footpath. After a few hundred meters you will reach the bottom level of the waterfall where you will be able to swim in a small pool.

Further levels of the waterfall can be reached but the path is very difficult especially in rainy season when it can be very slippery. Once at the top however, you will be rewarded with some stunning views over Salak Phet and Jek Bae.

Klong Nueng Waterfall

Klong Nueng is is the tallest in Koh Chang and not too far from Khiri Phet. Klong Nueng Waterfall is a great place to take a quick dip in the chest deep pool.

Having made the hours hike to get there. You will have to climb across a large boulder that blocks the trail. Once over the boulder you will see the water cascading down through the ravine.
