Than Mayom Waterfall on Koh Chang Island in the Gulf of Siam, Thailand. Beaches, snorkelling, diving, hotel reservation on Ko Chang Trad

The dense forest covered mountains in the central region of Chang Island create some spectacular waterfalls, five of them worth mentioned.

Than Mayom Waterfall is the most famous waterfall and located near the Than Mayom Pier at the eastern coast. A leisurely 400 metres walk from Koh Chang Marine National Park Headquarters through a durian orchard will lead you to the four-level medium-sized waterfall set in fertile virgin rainforest. The fall has water all year round and forms a large pool at its front. It was made famous by Royal visitors, King Rama V (1876) and King Rama VII (1927), who signed their names on the highest cliff of the cascades.

Klong Plu Waterfall is one of the most frequently visited falls as it is close to Khlong Phrao and Kai Bae Beaches. From the signboard on your left it is just 2 kms to the entrance where restrooms are available and some souvenir vendors put up their shops. Along the 400 metres hike to the waterfall countless species of vegetation and giant trees can be seen. The fall has 3 levels and is an important water source to the villagers. Most visitors stay at the first level of the 10-metre fall as it is a breathtaking sight.

Khlong Nonsi Waterfall is a small waterfall with several cascades and is located at Ban Dan Mai on the eastern coast. A 3 kilometres path starts near the Koh Chang Sub-district police station.

Khiri Phet Waterfall is 2 kilometres from Salak Pet in the south of Chang Island and can be reached by a 15-minutes walk through a rubber plantation from the car park. The medium-sized waterfall has water all year and a lovely pool at the first level.

Klong Nueng Waterfall is the tallest waterfall on Chang Island and can be reached after a challenging hour-long hike. It is situated in Salak Pet not far from Khiri Pet Waterfall.
