Khlong Chao Waterfall

Khlong Chao Waterfall is the largest and most visited waterfall on Ko Kut Island in Trat Province, eastern Thailand. Located inland near Khlong Chao village, it features three tiers cascading into a large natural pool surrounded by dense tropical forest. Notable for its year-round flow and historic royal visit by King Rama VI in 1911, the waterfall is easily accessible by road and a short forest walk, offering swimming and nature viewing.

Visitors can expect a three-tiered waterfall flowing into a large, clear natural pool suitable for swimming, set within dense tropical forest in central Ko Kut. Access is via a paved road to a parking area followed by a short, relatively flat forest trail. The site has a natural, undeveloped setting with large rocks around the pool for sitting and viewing. The surroundings are quiet and shaded, with opportunities for photography and nature observation.

The waterfall was visited by King Rama VI (King Vajiravudh) in 1911 during a royal tour of Ko Kut. The royal visit is commemorated locally and is the primary historical association that established the waterfall as a well-known landmark on the island.
