We spent a perfect day with our guide Bass and the driver on a full day trip from Bangkok to the Erawan falls. First we visited the bridge over the Qwai river and the museum and were guided through the history and horrors of the bridge construction that took life of more than 100000 prisoners. After that we visited the Sai Yok cave and drove to the Erawan falls park. Bass arranged for us lunch and was very attentive and helpful during the whole tour. We visited five levels of the falls and greatly enjoyed the different beautiful views of the streaming water at each of the levels. We even swam under one of the waterfalls. Overall it was a great 12 hour experience with an extremely friendly guide and a very good driver that uneventfully brought us back to our hotel in Bangkok. We can highly recommend it.

They picked us up on time, the car was very comfortable. We picked up our guide halfway to the waterfalls. Lookpad was kind, picked good food for us, helped us navigate the steps when we arrived at the park and gave us room to explore on our own afterwards. After we started exploring, we figured we would not have enough time with what she gave us and contacted her and she was more than happy to extend the exploration time for us.

Thanks for your feedback. :)
I’m only adding this note for the readers of your review to avoid any misunderstanding. Our usual pickup time from Bangkok is 6am, but in your case, the pickup was scheduled for 9 am.

We had the best guide team we could wish for!
Bass is very knowledgeable, respectful and a great person in general, we feel safe and happy to have him as our guide.
Somkid is a great driver and also super friendly. We love them both and if we ever come back we will hire you guys again, Erawan Falls was one of the most beautiful places I ever been!

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.
