Khlong Chao Waterfall
น้ำตกคลองเจ้า
Koh Kood's most famous waterfall, where water spills over broad rock ledges into a deep pool you can swim in. It's a must-visit on any trip to the island.
Khlong Chao Waterfall tumbles through three tiers of rock in the jungle on the island's west side, pouring into a deep, cool pool that's swimmable year-round. Small fish are often spotted around the edges. From the parking spot on the ring road, it's a 10–15 minute walk along a forest trail. Alternatively, rent a kayak at the Khlong Chao river mouth and paddle upstream for about 40 minutes, then walk the rest of the way. Entry is free, though a national park fee point is occasionally in place. Wear non-slip shoes. Thai visitors crowd in around midday on weekends, so go early in the morning for a quieter visit.
