We are on our way back from this magnificent day with the family, with our very nice guide Eddy, whom we thank at the same time for his kindness, all his explanations, and his good advice on dishes for lunch. We will keep these memories in our minds forever, the magnificent waterfalls.
We’re glad you enjoyed your Erawan Waterfalls adventure with Eddy—his warmth and insights made it special. It’s always rewarding to hear how smoothly the tour went and how the family appreciated the local tips for lunch. Enjoy your memories, and we hope to welcome you again soon!
Very nice experience. Much learned from the guide. Nice day of history with the bridge over the River Kwai and afterwards very beautiful piece of nature of Thailand. Our guide Eddy was very friendly and helpful. Recommended!

Great waterfalls. Not too strenuous

What an amazing experience. Eddy is the best tour guide. Punctual and explains everything calmly and clearly. Also very good information about history.
Denien_M, Eddy’s timely start and clear explanations made our Erawan tour smooth, even with the rain. His WWII stories about the bridge added depth without rushing—great value for the group! Thanks for sharing your positive experience—your adventure sounds like a highlight to remember.
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.
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.
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.
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.
