Tambon Tha Kradan, Thailand
Erawan Cascading Waterfalls and Caves
A limestone wonderland of water and subterranean secrets.
A series of seven waterfalls flowing over graceful limestone terraces are the star attraction of Erawan National Park, among the most beautiful waterfalls in Thailand.
Founded in 1975, the park is named for the mythical three-headed white elephant which the uppermost of the falls is said to resemble. In addition to the waterfalls the park is also home to a series of caves known as Mi, Rua, Wang Bahdan, and Phartat. Visitors can hike along the seven waterfalls and swim in their pools.
