WHY NOT VISIT A WATERFALL?
Apart from beaches, Koh Chang’s mountainous landscape of fertile rainforests and steep terrain create some scenic waterfalls. The following are frequently visited by tourists and locals. At some waterfalls, there is an entrance fee of 200 Baht for adults and 100 Baht for children over 3 years old.

KLONG PLU WATERFALL
Where: Close to Klong Prao (3 km south) and Kai Bae beaches.

Description: The fall plunges down a narrow drop-off into a pool, where you can go for a refreshing swim.

Trail: An easy 20 minute walk from the main parking area will get you to this waterfall. There are more levels above the main falls, but they can be tricky to negotiate, espescially around the wet season..

Why Go There? Klong Plu is probably the easiest of all Koh Chang's waterfalls to get to as it is located close to the main road and access is relatively easy.

THAN MAYOM
Where: Located next to Than Mayom pier with its entrance just behind the headquarters of the Marine National Park.

Description: A series of three falls along the stream of Klong Mayom. The second waterfall is about 500 metres  east and the third is 3 km from the first. 

Trail: A well-marked pathway leads to a 45-minute climb to the first set of falls.

Why Go There? There are good views from the top and you’ll find two stones with inscriptions bearing the initials of King Rama V, King Rama VI and King Rama VII. Swimming is also allowed. Restrooms and food stalls are available.

KLONG NONSI
Where: Located on the northernmost of Koh Chang. It is about 4 km from the headquarters of the marine park at Than Mayom. A 1-hour, 3-km path from Ban Dan Mai near Koh Chang police station leads to this waterfall.

Description: A small-sized waterfall with several cascades.

Kiripet
Where: Located 2 km from the southern fishing village of Salakphet   

Description: Although medium- sized, Kiripet has multiple levels. During dry season, it is possible to climb up to the seventh level of Kiripet. Swimming is possible but it is advisable to check the water currents, especially during the rainy season. During this time, it’s also very wet and slippery.

Trail: If driving, you can park your car in the rubber plantation within the waterfall vicinity and take a 15-minute walk. Hikers should wear climbing shoes and use great caution when climbing up the rocks. Rangers from nearby Salakphet Forestry Office can lend a helping hand if you request it.

KLONG NEUNG
Where: Not far from Kiripet.

Description: The tallest waterfall on Koh Chang.

Trail: The hike takes 1 hour and most guide books mention having to climb over a huge boulder to reach the waterfall but a very sensible Englishman who recently wrote a blog about his visit to this waterfall had the very sensible idea of just walking around the boulder. Who says that the English lack initiative??

Why Go There? It’s not an easy waterfall to get to, but many people sat that the swimming in the 1 meter or so fresh water pool makes it all worthwhile.

COOKING COURSES.

A great way to impress your friends and family after visiting Thailand would be to prepare them a gourmet meal.

Happy Turtle cookery classes will teach you how to cook some of the most delicous dishes that Thailand has to offer such as Tom Yum, Pad Thai or maybe even a Green curry. This is a half day trip and costs around 1000baht per person with free collection and return service from our resort. You will get to eat all you cook and we use this particular cookery school because of the excellent literature they provide for their students. The students actually choose what dishes they cook themselves.

FISHING TRIPS.

We can arrange fishing trips for our customers on one of the many charter fishing boats that exist on Koh Chang. There is some decent fishing right in front of our bar/restaurant , so if you have a rod why not bring it along and you can even try to teach me how to fish as up until now I can't even catch a cold nevermind a fish!
