Erawan National Park in Thailand is home to the famous Erawan Waterfall, a seven-tier waterfall system. It actually exceeded expectations and felt like a worthwhile visit, even though there are many natural landscapes in China that are arguably even more impressive.

The entrance fee for foreign adults is 300 THB per person (children are about half price). I was curious about what locals pay, but that wasn’t clearly shown.

I didn’t go swimming on this trip because I didn’t want to get wet, but swimming is allowed in designated areas of the waterfalls.
