Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

The swimming pool is an absolute highlight. It's wide, clear, and deep enough for swimming, not just splashing around. Jungle surrounds it on all sides, and rocks invite you to relax. The path there involves a short walk through the forest – which is half the battle – and it's the best way on Koh Chang to really cool off without having to go to the beach.

Timing is crucial here. The gates open at 8:30 a.m. and close at 4:30 p.m. The difference between arriving at 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. determines whether the pool is quiet or crowded. On weekends and during peak season, countless visitors flock from the resorts. Arrive early, swim, and leave before the crowds arrive.

Wear non-slip shoes instead of flip-flops on the hiking trail and bring dry clothes, as there are no discreet changing facilities if you get wet. The months of November to April offer the most pleasant weather, however, the waterfalls carry the most water after rainfall.
