The waterfall is located within a watershed area that provides critical water resources for the surrounding Kaeng Khoi agricultural districts.
The surrounding Chet Khot-Pong Kon Sao park serves as a migration corridor for various species of local wildlife, including barking deer and diverse butterfly populations.
The cascade is part of a network of streams that originate from the Khao Yai National Park ecosystem.
Ched Khot Waterfall is a multi-tiered cascade situated within the Chet Khot-Pong Kon Sao Nature and Ecotourism Study Center in Saraburi, Thailand. The site features a central natural pool suitable for swimming, surrounded by dense evergreen and deciduous forest. Water levels are fed by the Phaya Yen mountain range, resulting in consistent flows during the wet season. The trail to the main waterfall traverses varied terrain, including segments of jungle canopy and riverside pathways. The area is part of a protected watershed management zone designed for ecological education and recreation.
