Erawan Waterfall

The Emerald Gem of Kanchanaburi

Erawan Waterfall is one of the most famous and beautiful waterfalls in Thailand. Located in Erawan National Park, about 62 km from Kanchanaburi town, it is renowned for its crystal-clear, turquoise-green water created by the surrounding limestone mountains reflecting the sunlight.

What to Expect:

• 7 Majestic Tiers: The waterfall is divided into 7 distinct tiers, stretching over a hiking distance of 1,500 meters from the bottom to the top.
• Accessibility: It is very convenient to visit. The trail starts just 500 meters from the park headquarters.
• Natural Fish Spa: In tiers 1–4, you will find plenty of “Pla Pluang” (Mahseer Barb) swimming in the pools. Swimming with these fish is a unique local experience!
• Season: The waterfall flows all year round, though water levels may be lower during the dry season (December – April). The water eventually flows into the Khwae Yai River.
