Private Tour | Erawan Falls | day tour from Bangkok
Our tours are private, meaning no others will share the transfer or the guide with you.
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.

This tour was amazing! Every detail from hotel pickup until the return was planned and communicated perfectly. Our guide Jackie was excellent. He provided guidance on the 2 hikes that we did (Phra That Cave and Erawan Falls). If you're looking to visit this area, I highly recommend booking with Thai National Parks.
The Phra That Cave is a very steep hike. Although relatively short, it includes a lot of stairs to reach the top. If you're in moderate to good physical shape, I highly recommend this hike.
However, the gem of this tour was Erawan Falls. This set of cascading waterfalls is absolutely amazing. Jackie led us to all 7 tiers, which was somewhat strenuous at times. However, you can reach several lower tiers with minimal effort if you don't want to hike the entire falls.

My group and I had such a pleasant experience on our tour. We booked about 4 days in advance, and communication came extremely fast and answered all our questions. Our driver Aod was wonderful and showed up early, stopped when we needed to for a restroom and snack break, and dealt with all the traffic to and from Bangkok. Our tour guide was Fang, and he was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about the landscape and its history, and was kind enough to take lots of pictures of us. He gave us plenty of time at each destination to explore and take photos, and I couldn’t recommend him enough.
