Wonderful waterfalls

Six waterfalls immersed in the forest full of little fish that nibble at you! To reach each waterfall you go along a path and a series of steps! I recommend using hiking shoes and a swimsuit. A great experience to definitely do, even if the site is about an hour away from the town of Kanchanaburi.

Operator response

We’re thrilled Robert experienced the vibrant waterfalls surrounded by lush forest and the lively fish along the trails—it’s a highlight many mention! Your advice about trekking shoes and swimsuits paid off, as navigating the stairs and river crossings became easy and enjoyable. It’s always special to hear our guests embrace the adventure, even with the longer drive from Kanchanaburi.

AC Transport. Bad Curation

Be aware this is not a curated tour. You are taken with a lovely guide and AC minibus to Museum, shown the bridge and taken to the waterfall. So read up before you go - lots to see around the river relating to the Bridge & WW11. Hotel Pick Up - check whether your hotel is in the pick zone. I had to “fight” to get a refund on my hotel pick up. 5stars for our lateral thinking guide and Driver. One star to the Tour Organiser.

Operator response

Your feedback about the hotel pickup process is noted, and we’re taking steps to improve coordination there. While the guide and driver clearly went above and beyond with their lateral thinking during the Erawan Tour, we’re focused on ensuring every detail aligns with your expectations. If you’d like to share more specific thoughts, we’re here to listen.
