Koh Kood Waterfalls: Hidden cascades on Thailand’s wildest island

Deep in the Gulf of Thailand lies Koh Kood, an island of calm beaches, dense jungle, and freshwater treasures. One of its highlights? The beautiful Koh Kood Waterfalls — natural escapes that remain unspoiled and serene.

Khlong Chao Waterfall is the most visited. It’s easy to reach and perfect for swimming in cool, clear pools. Not far from there, Khlong Yai Kee offers a short jungle walk before revealing its layered cascades. Further inland, Huang Nam Kaew is the most secluded, rewarding adventurous hikers with silence, shade, and untouched surroundings.

Unlike popular tourist spots, Koh Kood Waterfalls remain peaceful year-round. You can enjoy a refreshing dip, sit under the trees, or simply listen to the sounds of water and wildlife. These places offer not only beauty but also a deeper connection to nature.

Explore a different side of Thailand with Monkey Travel

At Monkey Travel, we’ve been living and working in Asia for over 15 years. With offices in Thailand and Vietnam, our local team knows how to take you beyond the typical tourist path. That’s why we love recommending Koh Kood Waterfalls — they reflect the peaceful, authentic Thailand that’s hard to find.

Getting to the island is simple. Ferries depart daily from Laem Sok Pier in Trat. Once on Koh Kood, our team can arrange local transport so you can explore at your own pace. Whether you travel by scooter or private car, the journey through the island’s winding roads is part of the charm.

For the best waterfall experience, we suggest visiting between June and October. This is when the water levels are highest, and the forest is at its greenest. However, many of the falls still flow gently in the dry season.

In short, Koh Kood Waterfalls offer more than just a photo opportunity. They invite you to slow down, breathe fresh air, and experience Thailand in a natural, meaningful way. With Monkey Travel, you’ll do more than visit. You’ll discover.
