The principal waterfall on Koh Kood is Klong Chao Waterfall – Nam Tok Klong Chao, nam meaning water and tok meaning fall, located a few kilometres inland in the centre of the north west coast.

King Rama VI visited the waterfall in 1911 and gave it the royal name Anamkok in commemoration of Ong Chiang Lue, a Vietnamese King who took refuge in the Kingdom of Siam during King Rama I’s reign in the late 18th century.

It is accessed by following the small road that starts behind the Klong Chao Beach riverbank guesthouses, crossing the bridge and then heading inland until you reach the grassy area just, with Bartist on the right.

From there, a left turn takes you past a couple of little restaurants and then Sanchang Bungalows before arriving at the parking area. An easy ten minute walk through the forest brings you out at the falls themselves. With three tiers and a good plunge pool for cooling off, it is a lovely spot to rest up, but do take drinks and food as there are no kiosks. You could leave a small donation if you want in the pot.
