Erawan National Park is one of the few places in Thailand that will exceed your expectations, we promise you that! Photos don’t do it justice and there’s more to see than just a couple of nice waterfalls. For us, the trail itself was the highlight - a lush rainforest full of little streams, wooden bridges, twisting roots, and scenery that feels like you’ve been transported to the “Garden of Eden”.

The term “hidden gem” gets thrown around way too often in travel circles these days, but in the case of Kanchanaburi we believe it to be genuinely true. This province in western Thailand is mainly known for its tragic history during Japanese occupation and for the construction of the River Kwai Bridge, but dig a little deeper and you’ll discover one of the most beautiful and down-to-earth parts of Thailand.
