Some pictures on the waterfalls of Erawan and before viewing the photos, some explanations.

For those who don't know, Erawan is located north of Kanchanaburi, at 1h15 am from Kanchanaburi and more or less 3 hours from Bangkok.
The visit is usually done at the same time as Kanchanaburi in view of the proximity.
The waterfalls of Erawan are located in the National Park of Erawan which is a beautiful park where many species are preserved.

Arriving on site you will have to protect yourself from mosquitoes (repellents work very well) because yes, where there is water there are often mosquitoes.
Fit properly (closed shoes type basket) not to do as some unconscious who go in flip flops.
Have your swimsuit under your shorts and hop it off...

When you are in the parking lot you have the choice to go to the waterfalls on foot or take a golf cart with driver to drive you to the foot of the waterfalls. Personally I always opt for the cart because to type the waterfalls is enough to satisfy its need for physical exercise, especially when it is hot...

Once you have arrived you will need to check point "declare your plastic water bottles", i.e. you will be asked for a security deposit. Like that, on the way back, if you threw your bottle in the wild you will lose your deposit... (Not stupid)...

The waterfalls have seven levels. The first 4 levels are easy despite a lot of stairs but good beauty at a price...
From Level 5 It is a bit of a stretch with rock climbing and crossings of brook on logs, the more courageous will go to the end.

Obviously the more we go up and the less people he has.
You can swim at each level and it's really nice with lots of little fishes who are happy to come and nibble at the dead skins of your heels.

The climb is a little physical for those who do not usually mostly with heat but this fortunately is 95% in the shade of foliage.

A nice experience to live and downstairs you will find one or two small restaurants very good and cheap at all before returning to the road back.
