Chhay Areng Waterfall

Description

The waterfall is identified among Areng’s natural attractions in local reporting. It should not be confused with other named falls in the wider valley, including Chhay Tapang and Chhay Yaung. Ask your guide to confirm the exact stop before choosing a route.

How to Get There

Reach Koh Kong town by bus, minivan or car on the National Road 48 corridor from the National Road 4 junction. Tatai and Sre Ambel are separate stops along this wider route.

For Chhay Areng Waterfall, continue toward Areng Valley. A car or motorbike covers the local road section; use the established approach for the final walk and keep a return vehicle for a countryside outing.

Admission

Entry, parking and activities can be charged separately at recreation sites. A reliable current tariff is not published in the reviewed sources; keep a separate cash allowance for the visit rather than relying on an old quoted price.

Things to Do

• View the waterfall with a local guide
• Observe the river and surrounding forest
• Pair the outing with a community meal or homestay

What to Eat

Fish, seafood and rice dishes suit the coastal part of the province. Carry a packed lunch for a forest outing; community and boat programmes can include meals when sold as part of the trip.

Where to Stay

Koh Kong town works for the western coast and nearby mangroves. Use Tatai for river stays, Chi Phat for its community trails, or Koh Sdach for the southern archipelago.

Best Time to Visit

Water flow is usually stronger during and after the rainy season, while the dry season can expose more rock. Visit in daylight and avoid the stream during heavy rain or a sudden rise in water level.

Before You Go

Wear shoes with grip and keep phones and cameras protected from spray. Wet rock can be slippery even in calm weather; stay away from currents, drop-offs and restricted paths.
