All the stops on this tour are in Kanchanaburi province, west of Bangkok. The Bridge over the River Kwai stands in Kanchanaburi town, about 130 km from Bangkok, while Erawan Falls lies inside Erawan National Park and Tham Krasae sits on the Death Railway above the Khwae Noi River.

• Sunglasses and sunscreen
• Shoes or sandals with good grip for the waterfall trail

Good to Know Before You Book

• Tickets are paid at booking. The Erawan National Park entrance fee (300 THB) and the Death Railway train ticket (100 THB) are added to your total when you book, so there is nothing to pay at the park gate or the station.
• Exploring Erawan Falls. The lower tiers are an easy walk, while the upper tiers involve a steeper climb over rocks, roots and steps. How far you go depends on your own pace and fitness.
• Park rules. Food is not allowed beyond the 2nd tier, and park staff may ask for a small refundable deposit on plastic bottles.
• Train, then van. The train ride covers a short stretch of the Death Railway. From the train, you continue by van to the Bridge over the River Kwai.
• Which cave? The cave stop is Tham Krasae on the Death Railway. The tour does not visit any caves inside Erawan National Park.
