A beautiful seven-tiered waterfall in Kanchanaburi's Si Sawat district is a great way to cool down
If you are looking for somewhere serene and peaceful to escape to, Erawan National Park is probably the ideal place, and soaking in refreshingly cool water alongside the Erawan Waterfall in the wilderness of Kanchanaburi's Si Sawat district is a great idea to beat the heat.
The waterfall is famed for its turquoise-coloured stream and unique limestone formations, and is on seven levels, each of which has unique characteristics, allowing visitors to enjoy exploring the 1.5 kilometre trail to the top.
Walk along the shady trail and you will find yourself in a tropical wilderness, your path lined with huge trees such as makha mong (Afzelia xylocarpa (Kurz) Craib) and ironwood (Hopea odorata Roxb).
On the way up the hill, I take small rests along the way and find each tier of the waterfall has its own pool, allowing visitors to swim and relax in privacy. And since the national park does not allow visitors to bring in plastic bottles, the waterfall is very clean.
Curiosity keep me walking to see how beautiful each tier was. Finally I reached the highest tier of the falls. At the seventh tier, Phu Pha Sawan, I find my efforts climbing up worthwhile.
Here is an amazing and marvellous waterfall, fed by a turquoise stream. If you visit the falls on a rainy day, you may get a chance to see the stream rushing over a huge rock, making it look like a three-headed elephant - which is why this waterfall is named Erawan, the heavenly Hindu elephant god ridden by Lord Indra.
