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!!!
Mr Noy is my guide for this tour. He is so helpful and accomodating all day long. He explained thoroughly at our 1st stop which is JHEAT museum. I like how he explained in details and added more to whatever being told at the museum. Mr Noy also helped me to take pictures at the Kwai Yai bridge, our 2nd stop. Finally, Mr Noy brought me to Erawan National Park for hiking and also the awesome waterfalls. There are 7 of them!! Wehooo. Oh, and Mr Noy also brought me to this one stall in Erawan National Park that serves the best veges green curry and mango sticky rice!! There were so yummy. All in all, a full day well spent with My Noy. Please make sure you ask for Mr Noy if you want to have the best experience from the tour. Good job Mr Noy 👍🏽👍🏽
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.
The experience was great! I ended up being the only passenger in the "group tour," and Nuch was my guide. She is very knowledgeable about the history of the locations we visited. The driver, Mr. Sak, is an EXCELLENT driver. I spent 8 days in Thailand and he was the only driver that I felt safe with. Smooth experience behind the wheel. I highly recommend this tour. Note: Do bring tissues with you bc public bathrooms along the way do not have them on the stalls. Bring 20 Thb to rent life jacket if you plan to swim, although I saw people swim without life jackets, so I guess it's optional? I also recommend going all the way to Level 7, enjoy your swim, and then come back down to swim in the other ones. After level 5, it is steeper to climb, BUT the path is exceptionally well maintained and easy to stay on the path to get you to the top. Extra note: The guide was a little late, and I called the TripGuru customer service to confirm for a guide. The woman I spoke to told me the guide had quit and they couldn't find me a driver, therefore I had to either do the tour next day or full refund. I was leaving town the next day so another tour was not possible. I felt extremely disappointed for a moment until Nuch showed up, and she showed me documentation that SHE was my guide, not a man that quit. Bit of miscommunication behind the scenes.
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.
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!
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. 👍👍👍
The tour was well planned out and gave us ample time to explore the waterfalls of erawan national park. Our guide, Ohm, was especially helpful in guiding us, giving us tips and advice and explaining to us the history of the JEATH museum. Will definitely reccomend to those looking for a good hike!
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!
Erawan falls was amazing and they will allow you to swim if you rent the 20baht life vest (non-refundable). Don't worry about storing your bags, they have lockers at zone 2 and you can deposit 100baht to use it (they'll refund this). Please wear proper shoes for hiking if you intend to climb to the highest waterfall, the steps are quite steep and rocky. If you wish to swim, please bring another waterproof slippers / booties. Mr Tee was a nice guide who explained the history of the death railway to us and brought us to a local place to have lunch.
