Kanchanaburi Province in west Thailand is home to several natural and historical sites popular among both local and foreign tourists. Erawan National Park in the province, with its famous falls, is no doubt one of the most iconic attractions in Thailand but it is also one of the most beautiful falls in entire Asia.

What?

A day-tour to Erawan Falls includes transfer from Bangkok, visiting Erawan National Park where you can hike up to all seven tiers enjoy swimming in the ponds and visiting a nearby cave. The cave may get closed if there has been heavy rain lately, in case, you will be able to visit The Bridge over River Kwai in the Kanchanaburi City instead.

Where & When?

This full day tour can be booked all year round except on long week-ends and holidays when the waterfalls get too overcrowded.

Our guide will meet you at 6:30 am in your hotel’s lobby in Bangkok. Driving time to the falls takes about 3 hours & 15 mins. After the tour you will be taken back to your hotel around 7 pm in the evening.

During the dry season there is not much flow of water but it will be beautiful as the water gets crystal clear.

Andy was a great tour guide! He's certainly speedy, but we were able to see a lot of stuff and he's fun along the way! Lunch was also a huge spread that we weren't able to even eat all of.

I guess you expect me to rate the trip not my review :D.

It was great though strenuous. Maybe it was great because it was strenuous. The guide was sweet, knowledgeable, friendly. Keep him :D.

The snake in the cave was okay.

Our Day trip to the Phratat Cave & Erawan Falls was surely one to remember! Everything from our Tour Guide, to the pickup and drop off service, food and experience itself were all a 10/10. Totally worth a day of exploring when in Thailand!

Everything felt very well organised and reliable, and they always replied to messages quickly. We were picked up punctually by the driver, and both the driver and our guide, Jackie, were really nice people.

The tour went very smoothly, it was fun and we had the nicest lunch at a local restaurant. Jackie made sure we had everything we wanted to eat/try out. We also received a snack and some water at the beginning of the trip.

The only con is that we needed such a long way with the car (2-3 hours each way), but it was totally worth it and the hike to see the waterfalls was amazing.

We had a wonderful trip to Erawan falls. Right from enquiry to booking up the actual trip, everything was very hassle free and prompt. Our guide Jackie was very friendly and told us about the place, showed us all the good spots on the trek and treated us to a really sumptuous local lunch (my vegetarian needs were taken care of and I was recommended some really special dishes that I enjoyed). The vehicle arranged for us was also really comfortable. Overall my family and I really enjoyed the experience and recommend this tour to anyone else who wants to witness the gorgeous beauty of Erawan falls

After all a great tour, but Andy has to inform the group more about timelines. If we stop somewhere, he should tell how much time we have to spend there. It was very rushy at the end.

> Tour operator's response

Thanks for your feedback. :)

It gets a bit difficult to manage the time with a bigger groups like your, there were 9 of you.

Lunch breaks, coffee breaks normally tends to take more time. With only 2-3 people in a group, perhaps not every one is interested in seeing a butterfly or a spider, a lizard etc. Over 9 people, people having different interests, it may be necessary to stop by for small photo session for every ones needs, then, it all add up to slow the hike.

We really enjoyed our day trip to Erawan falls and the Bridge over the River Kwai. The company was very professional, well organised and very flexible with regards to pick up times and itinerary. Andy, our tour guide, was funny and brilliant. He passed on a lot of knowledge to us about the history of the bridge and even offered us an opportunity to visit the museum. We thoroughly recommend this company to anyone who wishes to make great memories.
