Khlong Chao River Kayaking
คลองเจ้า
Kayaking down the Khlong Chao River through mangroves, reaching the waterfall's downstream area. It is the island's most classic experience.
The Khlong Chao River flows from the central mountains into the sea at Khlong Chao Village on the west coast. The mouth of the river is lined with mangroves and fishing boats, and the water is calm. Resorts and businesses at the river mouth rent kayaks for several hundred baht per hour. Paddling upstream about 3 km takes 40 to 60 minutes to reach the landing below the waterfall. It is best to set out in the morning or at high tide, and bring sunscreen and waterproof bags. Khlong Chao Beach at the river mouth is also a good place to watch the sunset.
