Koh Adang Pirate Waterfall
6° 30.8′ N · 99° 18.0′ E
A shady 45-minute jungle walk from the west end of Adang's main beach, following black water pipes up to Namtok Chon Salat, the 'pirate waterfall' that flows all year.
Practical
Position: OpenStreetMap 'Pirate Waterfall' (trailhead mapped at 6.51082, 99.31165). Wikivoyage: about 45 minutes, follow the black water pipes and sign from the western part of the main beach; hiking shoes recommended. Wikipedia names it Namtok Chon Salat and says it flows year-round; legend says pirates used it for fresh water. Wikivoyage's Lipe page gives about 90 minutes each way, so allow time. thainationalparks.com lists the waterfall trail at about 2.5 km with several viewpoints.
