Seven-tiered, emerald green and magnificent in the extreme, these waterfalls are not the stuff of fairy tales, but can be found in the Erawan National Park (one of the most famous in all of Thailand), just a short jaunt from Kanchanaburi town. Deciduous forest covers 81% of the park, while the remainder is blanketed in evergreens, making the whole area a real haven for nature lovers. What’s more, visitors are invited to swim in several of the plunge pools here, enjoying the natural nibbling fish that occur beneath the falls.
