This was definitely worth the time spent to get to, visually beautiful and so refreshing to swim in the heat. Having the fish nibbling away at the dead skin on my feet was an eerie feeling. I enjoyed being there on a weekend with so many locals out for a picnic. More

The moto drive to get there was over an hour and on a hot day the road is pretty warm. The saving grace is the pools of water at the falls are nice and cool. It takes about 45 minutes to get to the top tier and there are about 4 tiers that you can swim in. They all have... More

I've been several times to Erawan waterfalls, they are quite lovely if starting to drown in their own popularity. There are several different stages each preceded by a walk of a reasonable distance. The main attractions apart from the sheer relief the cool waters provide from the searing Kanchanaburi heat are the little fish which eat the dead skin from... More

We loved the beauty of the site, the bath and the natural slide in one of the waterfall ! Fish spa and monkeys' families are also worth the trip. In order to avoid the crowd, it is recommended to start early in the morning. The walk is not difficult and you will rest at each of the waterfall, so you... More

Saiyok is one of favorite destination in Kanchanaburi province that I really wanna visit. Because it takes only few hours to approach to. Nevertheless, Saiyok has so many famous attractions such as waterfalls and boat houses on the main river in Kanchanaburi province. Kanchanaburi is located in Western Thailand, it is likely to be hot at the day time in... More

Heeded the sggestions and went early out of Kanchanaburi, and had a lovely morning hike. Some have commented that there are "better" falls in Thailand. Well, of that I'm sure, but if you're in the area, these truly are beautiful. Hiked all the way to the top 7th Falls, where the green-blue mneral waters were all to myself. Serene and... More

Some of the prettiest falls we have seen in Thailand. Make sure to get there early, before the tour buses arrive. There is a 200 baht entry fee for tourists, unless you can prove you live in Thailand but they really do spend the money well and look after the place. There are 7 tiers to the waterfalls but most...
