We spent the day in the green, jungle-covered hills of Erawan National Park. It was our second visit, as we’d also been to Erawan on our 2022 trip.
Climbing all seven tiers of the waterfall took some effort, with rocky paths between each level, but there was a bright blue pool waiting at every one to cool off in. Swimming in them with the sounds of the jungle all round us was one of the best parts of our time in this part of Thailand.
