Hiking Around Erawan Waterfalls

Erawan Falls is one of the most magnificent waterfalls in Thailand. With its stunning layers of cascades, the clear blue water, and over 7 levels for us to explore. Since Erawan Falls is 65 km away from Kanchanaburi City, the drive there with a scooter will take you about 1.5 hours and so you should start your day as early as you can. The road there is pretty straightforward forward and the road is not difficult to drive with the majority of the way on a 4 lanes road.

You can also take a bus from Kanchanaburi Bus Terminal which leaves every hour from 8 AM to 5 PM. Once you arrive, you will be right at the first level of the waterfall where all the cascades are. There are 7 waterfalls you can hike in the Erawan Falls area stretching along the 1.5 km trail. The trail from level-1 to level-4 is pretty easy with around 5 minutes walking distance apart. The trail takes about an hour to an hour and a half to hike to the top and about an hour or less to get down. The opening hours are from 8 AM to 4:30 PM so do prepare accordingly if you plan to hike the whole stretch. The entrance fee is 300 THB (100 THB for Thais) plus 20 THB if you are there with a scooter.
