I was surprised that it wasn’t cancelled knowing that we were only 2 in the trip. The falls was the highlight of the trip. I wish I could have reached level 7 but made me want to go back. The war museum was also an eye-opener and Eddy was a great guide. He explained the history and gave us clear instructions as much as he can. I also noticed that several of the tour guides under TripGuru were already old and one of them is Eddy. I kind of appreciate the fact that despite their age, they were still given opportunities to work as tour guides. Highly recommend this tour and this company. Will definitely go back to Erawan.
Highly recommend! I was concerned I wouldn’t make it to the meeting point in time but arrived early. I’m glad I visited the meeting point the day beforehand to ease my anxiety. Unfortunately my hotel was outside the pickup areas. The guide & driver were both very friendly with great communication. I’m not sure if offered with every trip but we were able to take a boat from the JEATH War Museum to the River Kwai Bridge for 200thb each and I highly recommend this if offered. The museum and bridge were very interesting and Erawan National Park is BEAUTIFUL! Due to chronic pain I was only able to walk to level 3 waterfall but I was very impressed with levels 1-3. Swimming was lovely however the process to get life jackets and record food/drink was confusing and I would’ve preferred to not have a jacket. Lunch was tasty & a nice chance to get to know the others on the trip. Its a big day & the drive back is long but there is 5G all the way with a local eSIM or you can take a nap. Book it!!!
out guide Niranya is very detail oriented and taking are of his group member. Her itinerary and planning is making sire we enjoyed the most highlighted parts of the day tour like the 7 floors water fall. 👍👍👍
tour guide auntie Shirley puts a lot of effort into her work, very lively and personable. bought the participants pomelo and jack fruit to try. unfortunately water was not clean in erawan so we could not swim
the journey to get to the waterfalls is a little long, but having some intermediate stops it was pleasant, in any case it is worth it, the waterfalls are very beautiful, and the possibility of swimming with the fish is a wonderful experience
I liked it very much. They offer a ride along the river for an additional fee... so you need to take extra cash with you. It is advisable to add another hour to the waterfalls, two hours is not enough, I think. I advise you to immediately go up to the seventh level of the waterfall and only then go down to the lower levels.
Our lovely tour guide Pop was friendly and insightful regarding Thailand’s involvement in World War II, where POW were taken to Thailand and forced to build the railway from Thailand to Burma due to Japanese occupation. I do wish that the JEATH war museum was better, as it was only a small hut showcasing the living conditions of POW at the time, I had expected something bigger with more information or artefacts etc. However, the highlight was definitely Erawan national park and waterfalls! Well worth the 3 hour drive and good food options there as well. I wished we had more time to spend here as we got there around 1pm and the park closes around 4pm. We did not have enough time to explore all 7 levels, swim and get changed etc so we opted to stay at one level and swim the entire time. Overall highly recommend this tour and was for sure one of the highlights in our trip!
This is the main hoghlight of our Thailand trip. 3 hours drive from Bangkok city but its all worth it onve you reach Erawam National Park. There are 7 main waterfalls in the park and it will take about an hour to trek the 2 km trail to reach the top most waterfall. A lot of birds, lizards, fishes and monkeys in the park which makes it more attractive. We have an awesome guide as well that explains well the places we went to and even let us taste loval delicacies.
It was a great day trip to escape Bangkok and enjoy some nature. After a two-hour drive, the tour begins at the JEATH War Museum, which highlights the terrible conditions endured by war prisoners. The waterfalls are a real highlight, and you can even swim there.
our guide and driver were great and our group of 6 people really enjoyed this day trip (11 hours inc. 5,5 hours transfer) to Kanchanaburi: gripping JEATH Museum, Bridge over river Kwai and the highlight: ERAWAN NATIONAL PARK. knowledgeable, friendly and patient, they managed our time well and chose a friendly restaurant for lunch. highly recommended tour!
