Kanchanaburi Province in west Thailand is home to several natural and historical sites popular among both local and foreign tourists.

- The first stop will be Erawan Falls. Once arriving there, we will spend 3 hours walking up to all 7 tiers of Erawan Falls.

Good to bring with you hiking shoes, swimwear and towel.

- Our next stop will be Prasat Muang Sing Historical Park which is the most important historical site in Kwai Noi basin. The park is home to a number of e Bayon-style temples as seen in Angkor Wat in Cambodia. The temples date back to the 13th and 14th centuries.

It was a wonderful, varied day. Our guide Jackie and the nice driver Jambong were very attentive. We were picked up on time and Jackie explained a lot, especially about the animals and the history.
On top of that, we had a delicious meal. We even thought of parasols. Very high praise! Always happy to work with you again!

Om was the perfect tour guide

Our guided tour was well organized, insightful and adventurous! We managed to explore Erawan waterfalls, Phra That Cave, Prasat Muang sing park and river Khwae bridge in one day in a relaxed tempo and no huge crowds. We were lucky to see a snake in the cave and enjoy a morning hike in a bamboo forest. We felt well taken care of and shown the beauty of Thai nature, culture and history by our highly professional guide.

We had a great day tour. Fang brought us to the cave, Erawan waterfalls and muang sing, as well as to the river khwae bridge. We loved the hiking tour but also the detailled information about thai culture, history, plants and thai food gave us an insight of the country.
Also the booking was really easy and very fast, since we decided last minute to take a tour.

I'd highly recommend this tour. My tour guide was Bass and he was very friendly and knowledgeable. We went to the Erawan waterfalls, explored a cave, saw ruins that were hundreds of years old, and visited the Bridge over the River Kwai.
