Covering 550 square kilometers, Erawan National Park and is best known for the beautifully blue pools under its tiered waterfall. Named after the legendary Hindu elephant, Erawan Falls has three easily accessible tiers, which are also the most crowded. If youāre in better shape, and have the time, the 2km trek to the upper tiers is recommended - at the fourth tier there is a natural rock slide, while level six has the fewest visitors. Along the way, youāre likely to see macaques (who will snatch unattended belongings). If you decide to go for a swim, the fish are nibbly!

Daytrip is loved all around the world. Here's why.
Know more about your day trip
Erawan Falls consists of seven tiers of stunning emerald waterfalls within Erawan National Park. Each level offers unique swimming areas with natural pools and limestone formations. Your 4-hour visit allows time to hike to multiple tiers, swim in the refreshing pools (look out for fish that give natural pedicures!), and enjoy the lush jungle surroundings. The full hike to the seventh tier takes approximately 1-1.5 hours each way.
Early morning (7-9 AM) is best for visiting Damnoen Saduak Floating Market when boat traffic is most active and the weather is cooler. The market winds down by early afternoon. Your 1-hour visit gives you time to experience the bustling atmosphere, take photos of vendors selling goods from boats, and sample local foods. Weekdays are generally less crowded than weekends.
Water-resistant hiking sandals or shoes with good grip are ideal for Erawan Falls. You'll be navigating forest trails, rocky areas, and potentially slippery surfaces around the waterfalls. Some visitors bring water shoes for swimming and hiking shoes for the trails. Avoid flip-flops as the paths to the upper tiers become steeper and more challenging.
A boat tour is the best way to experience Damnoen Saduak. Prices typically range from 150-500 THB depending on whether you choose a shared or private boat. Your driver can help arrange this directly at the market. The standard tour lasts 30-40 minutes, giving you time to explore by boat and on foot during your 1-hour visit.
Pack a swimsuit, quick-dry towel, and change of clothes for Erawan Falls. Biodegradable sunscreen is recommended to protect the natural environment. A waterproof bag or case for valuables is useful if you plan to swim. Note that certain colored sunscreens are prohibited to protect the ecosystem, so mineral-based or reef-safe options are preferable.
The difficulty increases with each tier at Erawan Falls. The first three levels are easily accessible via a well-maintained path suitable for most fitness levels. Levels 4-7 involve steeper trails, some climbing over rocks, and crossing streams. Your 4-hour visit allows you to go as far as your comfort and fitness level permit. Many visitors enjoy the lower tiers without hiking to the top.
At Damnoen Saduak, polite negotiation is expected when shopping, but always with a smile. Ask before taking photos of vendors, particularly close-up portraits. Respect the waterways by not throwing trash. When sampling food, using the proper wai gesture (Thai greeting with palms together) to thank vendors shows cultural awareness. Your driver can advise on current local customs during your visit.
