Thailand has many waterfalls, but most of them are small. and frankly, not very impressive, especially for those people who has already seen something like Niagara in his life. The exception probably are the Khlong Lan waterfall in Kampeng Pet and the waterfalls in Doi Inthanon National Park, among which is the highest in Thailand. It is difficult to put Ko Chang’s waterfalls in this row, but less they are visited. Yes, and having been to them, I’m not much grieved because I regard them as a natural phenomenon, and not as something the very thing, the more you can buy them. Have me for some reason, the thirst for swimming is in fresh water, and on the sea smooth just love to watch.
All the waterfalls in the article go in a sequence one after another, how they could be driven around by starting on the west side and finishing on the east, clockwise. Sorry, no in the south section of the road connecting the western and eastern parts, therefore always have to go around through the north of the island. Water in the waterfalls not cold, swim quite real. But, of course, not so warm as in the sea.
If you want to visit one or more waterfalls from this review and think to look for housing nearby, you can do it on RoomGuru. And we have a description of a good and budget bungalow. on White Sand Beach (which is quite conveniently located for exploring islands).
Since Thailand still has the problem of displaying Thai names in English letters, then the names are found different, although they mean the same waterfall. For those waterfalls where I have seen several spellings, so I point out.

Waterfalls map
I have a common map, so that others may be on the way. attractions grab.
Prao Talay Waterfall
Let’s start with a waterfall in the very south of Chang. It is located on the territory Grand Laguna Resort, which is located immediately after the village of Bang Bao and Bang Bao Beach. Entrance to the resort is 50 baht, the ticket is valid the whole day, which you can dedicate visiting a waterfall, swimming at the beach resort and exploring equipped territory. By the way, right there and give bikes on hire And the waterfall is quite small—
Klong Plu Waterfall
This waterfall is most famous in Koh Chang, as it is located near Klong Prao Beach in the middle the tourist part of the island, which means getting to it closer Total. In addition, it is also the largest in terms of water volume. ABOUT it is incorrect to speak here to height, all the waterfalls of Chang are small and not high. So, Klong Plu has a big and deep bowl, where all visitors are splashing. The water is flowing, so it’s not so scary that a lot of people. Although of course I would like to be there in alone, but Chang is not an island that would be worth it expect.
So, if you want to splash in fresh water, then this Waterfall is the best, in my opinion. Just while you go to him (about 500 m), you can look at the real jungle, though the path is refined and in some places paved, the forest is real. Depth the reservoir allows him to dive from various protrusions and heights. And y the current of the waterfall is strong, you can swim there and, staying on place to train your swimmer skills. There is also Nature Trail, a small route for a walk through the woods, I regret not going, though in the heat it does not always want to do.
Due to the large number of tourists sitting on the towering rock the guard who watches our safety with you. He is just that starts whistling if you climb somewhere wrong. And this is “somewhere it doesn’t “depend either on a specific person or on his moods. Once I was allowed to sfotkat upper cascade, the other no time.
The second minus of Klong Plu Watefall after people is the price of entry. already 200 baht per person. Since it is located on the territory national park, the visit costs as much as visiting any other national park in the country. And also Consider that when approaching the box office of the waterfall on a bike, enterprising Thais will offer you paid parking, although if you drive literally another 20 meters, then immediately after the ticket office there will be a free parking lot

Nang Yom / Klong Chao Luam Waterfall
For some reason, this waterfall has two uncontroversial names. I met them on different maps, so keep in mind when you watch card or search the internet. Most likely, more correct – Klong Chao Luam, since on the road signposts it is title. The entrance to the waterfall is in a private area, therefore It costs 40 baht, parking is free. And as I understand, to nat the park is still a waterfall (and you do not have to pay 200 baht). Near the entrance there is a small cafe with drinks and a couple of rooms under change
The waterfall has many cascades (level), which are themselves very small. Some impressive water streams you are not there see, but there will be the most real jungle with spiders and snakes (although I have not seen anyone). Very few people to the very not all reach the top level (level 12), although it seems to me that it is not very far. But it is difficult to verify, since only the first part cascades signed, and then there are no plates. I walked half an hour into one side without stopping to the point where the paths have already begun get lost. Despite the lack of “attractions”, this I liked the walk most because of the real nature and small amount of people.

Klong Nonsi waterfall
We go further. Some not very famous waterfall on the east Aside, it is not on all maps of Koh Chang. Getting to him like that – we are going from Changov pier on the east side and right after hospital and before reaching the police station need to look homemade pointer to the right. Passing a little from the main road, we get to the parking for 10 baht with a motorbike and 30 baht from the car (in donation), the waterfall itself is free. From here we walk through fruit fields. Total walk about 500 meters. Somewhere along the way there will be a pointer “up to a waterfall 50 meters”, he is not to be believed, since really there several times further. The paths are good, do not go complicated. The waterfall is shallow and may be dry.
Thaan Ma Yom / Than Mayom Waterfall
The next waterfall is very close and also on east side of Koh Chang Island. Generally in these edges is easiest ride a bike, because there are rarely minibuses in this direction, and The price for them is not very. The entrance is exactly the same as in Klong Plu costs 200 baht, as it is the territory of Koh Chang National Park. But! it the territory of the same park, so if you go to the same the very day when we were at Klong Plu, it will be possible to go by already to the purchased ticket, which means 200 baht will be paid for two Koh Chang waterfall 
If you leave the bike right near the ticket office on the road, then to the waterfall walk 10 minutes, but you can drive a little further, where paid parking 10 baht each. There are not many people here, I was alone, not counting the guard, who immediately after my appearance went about his business. Although it may have been such a day, because it is also considered popular. The cup here is suitable for swimming, but not so deep like in Klong Plu. And the drain on its size is about same

Klong Nueng / Klong Nung Waterfall
Near the Klong Nung Falls, I was very close, but not before him I came, because for a long time I could not understand where to find him. Arrived at place, and the road rested on the thicket, impassable at first glance, the asphalt is over and there is no waterfall. While I roam around roads, trying to find the right path, began to darken. By the way accidentally found a good viewing platform (also shown on the map below). And returning again to a dead end, I decided to check passable thickets. There was a narrow path leading to river. Passing a few dozen meters upstream, the waterfall I I still did not find it, and because of the darkness I had to retreat.
Then I read that this waterfall is the highest and it’s still about 500 meters from where I was, or about 20 minutes of travel. Once before, they wanted to make it a subject to visit on the territory of the same nat park, but apparently later changed their minds. Exactly so a good road leads to the river, there is an abandoned toilet and Parking, and the path itself to the waterfall there. Consider what you need move along the stone bed, jumping over stones and sometimes go swimming Right before the waterfall will be a big boulder, which you need to go around to the left. Near the waterfall there is a bowl of 15 meters length, you can swim in it.
Here’s how to guess what’s behind the bunch in the undergrowth path?

Khiri Phet / Kheeri Phet / Kere Phet Waterfall
Like the previous one, Kheeri Phet Waterfall is located near the village. Salak Phet is almost in the very south of Koh Chang and you need to go to it. on the east side. It is the farthest from the main tourist beaches (close it is only from the uncrowded Long Beach), therefore The place is not very popular and little visited. From the main road you need to go about 1.5 km uphill. The waterfall is not very high, but You can swim in a small bowl. Most likely you will be there alone
P.S. In fact, I made many more interesting shots along the way, so the trip itself around the island is new impressions. And I will lay out photos somehow in separate article.
