Erawan National Park

Traveling individually from Bangkok to Erawan Falls in Kanchanaburi seemed like too much hassle, so I opted for a Klook day tour and was very satisfied! Above all, Erawan Falls was truly wonderful. Due to time constraints, we only went up to Level 5, but we thoroughly enjoyed swimming and playing in the waterfalls at Levels 2 and 3. I brought aqua shoes, and they were incredibly convenient for both hiking and water activities, so I highly recommend them. The weather was initially beautiful, and I thought we were lucky, but then it suddenly poured rain as we were leaving, giving us the full experience of Erawan during the rainy season. Still, I was very relieved that the weather was good while we were swimming. It was much more comfortable to store our belongings at the bottom of the falls and only take essentials up with us. My husband, who loves swimming, really made the most of it! 😂 Jackie Chan is the best!!! However, if you want to slowly explore Erawan Falls up to Level 7 and fully enjoy swimming, the tour schedule might feel a bit rushed. If we go again, we'd like to take public transportation and spend a full, leisurely day at Erawan Falls. I recommend the Klook day tour for those visiting Kanchanaburi from Bangkok for the first time or for anyone who finds arranging transportation separately inconvenient. Especially if you plan to swim at Erawan Falls, be sure to bring your swimsuit and aqua shoes!

This was my second trip to Kanchanaburi. This time, because I was traveling with my parents, I opted for a private car hire and Route C. The Honda Accord served the three of us, so it was spacious and comfortable. Although the driver only spoke basic English, which was a slight limitation in his tour guidance, he was very friendly and helpful throughout the trip, which was very appreciated. Furthermore, we were allowed to decide how much time to spend at each stop, and even at the final stop on the River Kwai Bridge, he didn't rush us, allowing us to enjoy the scenery at our own pace. Highly recommended! Thank you, driver Mr. Phongsan!
