What To Expect
If you’re looking to soak up the best that Mother Nature has to offer around the Kanchanaburi area, join this Erawan Waterfall and Train Tour for a day of lush greenery, refreshing waters and rich history. We’ll start bright and early with a pick up from your accommodation in Kanchanaburi. Then we’ll head to our first stop, Srinakarin Lake. Built as a result of the Srinakarin Dam on the Kwai Yai River, this peaceful and placid lake offers fantastic views of the reservoir and the surrounding mountains and forests. Admire the lakeside views and snap photos before we head to our next destination, Erawan National Park.
Erawan Waterfalls
Named after the three-headed white elephant in Hindu mythology, the park is most famous for housing Erawan Waterfall, a striking body of water that cascades down seven tiers and is said to resemble the god Erawan. Take a quick dip in the emerald green pools, scout the nearby caves, and take in the lush surrounding forest of the park before digging into tasty lunch at a local restaurant.

The Most Magical Day Ever!
Olivia L,Jun 22, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00Na was THE BEST! (and thank you to our driver, Ham, as well!)... she was truly delightful and made my day :) I wasn't intending on a private tour but, I suppose, with it being off season, that's how it shook down. The price seemed a bit steep for me after living in Thailand for almost 2 months now (teaching English in Ban Pong), much more comparable to prices back in the States - so I had a little sticker shock BUT it was the most magical day ever, totally worth the price. I was picked up in a super clean/AirCon'd van and Na entertained all my questions about the area and gave me so many interesting tidbits. We stopped at the damn before Erawan National Park, which was really cool and she has ALL the facts! She walked me up a couple of the falls and then let me go solo to the 7th - which is A MUST. Truly spectacular. We met back up at a certain time (change into your bathing suit in the very clean park bathrooms before ascending, you'll definitely want to get in the water!) and then drove to a really cute spot for lunch. It was HUGE so I assume very packed during peak season but we practically had the whole place to ourselves. The buffet was 250BHT and delightful...they even made me a special vegetarian soup :) Then we walked to the train station right across the street and Na knew the best seat on the train (7th car!) for the most spectacular view all along the river, mountain, and farmlands. She was extremely knowledgeable about the history from the war - on all sides and we had a very powerful conversation about this tragic yet important facet of world history. The train lets you off at the Bridge Over River Kwai and, yet again, Na is there with the fancy camera angles should you need any pictures/videos. She really is a great photographer as well! It's an early start time but worth it to have the entire waterfall to yourself on the way up. Na is so great, I can not recommend this tour enough! I stayed at the recommended Kanchanaburi City Hotel which was simple but great. They only have breakfast (yummy pancakes and flowers in the coffee!) so make sure to arrive in time to seek out your own dinner. A small but poignantly beautiful Japanese memorial is across the street, worth a gander. It is an easy walk to the area with all the bars and a quick Grab ride to the bus or train station. I also took an amazing Pilates class at Inspire Pilates, if that is of interest to anyone here :) Dinner on the river with live music, at sunset, was MAGNIFICENT...I loved the restaurant called Kaan (truffle pasta, yum)....overall 10/10 no notes weekend!

5.00Jack was an amazing tour guidefriendly, knowledgeable, and very easy to talk to. He took us to the museum, the national park, and a beautiful waterfall. Each stop was well explained and enjoyable, but the waterfall experience was especially amazing and memorable. He made the whole day fun, relaxing, and informative. I highly recommend him.
Was a very nice day trip. Bonnie was a very pleasant and good guide for the trip. The waterfalls are very beautiful.

5.00Amazing day in the Kanchanaburi nature and learning a bit of history with the guide Ohm Ekachai. Ohm has been great, super kind and took care of the team. He provided all the necessary information and I want to recommend this activity. Last but not least, the waterfalls trekking has been amazing and worth to visit and we saw monkeys and lizards. The driver Yoyo also has been really professional and drove safelly.
Interesting but exhausting excursion

5.00Punctual pickup at the hotel. Expert tour guide and sympathetic driver. Level 7 at the waterfall was too exhausting for us and level 4 was over. Train ride like in the oven but great and worth seeing.
Great excursion
