We took a yellow songthaew from Warorot market at 40 Thai Baht per person to the botanic garden. The journey took about an hour. Entrance fee is free for senior over 60s. We were recommended to take a tram to the garden as it was quite a walk. The tram was 30 baht per person. The first stop was at the canopy. It was a very impressive walkway with fantastic views. The driver then took us to the glasshouse gardens. This was divided into different sections with alpine plants, orchids, cactus and rain forest. Particularly impressive was the large rain forest glass house with a massive waterfall. We meant to visit the natural science museum but we ran out of time. We will do it on our next visit. Highly recommend.

Cool unique spot where the mineral deposits on the rocks allow you to climb the waterfall. Long awkward stairway down, a bit of fun work to get up.

A great day can be spent hiking in Erawan National Park, enveloped by lush greenery and the serene, trickling sounds of the famous waterfall. I recommend hiking up to the top (7th) level in order to get the most out of your trek, although be prepared for a sweaty, steep and rocky climb - I strongly recommend sturdy walking shoes for anyone hiking beyond level 3. Some of the levels make for excellent swimming, so be sure to pack your swimming gear, although do be aware that the fish at each level will nibble your feet. I saw monkeys and boar on the track, so animal lovers will likely enjoy this trail. It's a hot and challenging climb, but a must for hikers and nature enthusiasts.

Great hike for any outdoorsy type or seasoned hiker, it is an easy ramble. I am 62 and did not have a problem, and I am getting fat and lazy. But for the rest of us…It is still a 1400m hike up hill or 1.4 Kilometer and a round trip of say 3 kilometers! And it gets steep at times…You might need both hands and feet to navigate the more difficult areas. I had a few people that wanted to turn back and met a family from India that were struggling, I encourage them on with only 500m to go. Still, it is well worth the pain, and there is no danger. The treat at the end when you arrive at the falls is a swim and shower. With COVID you may very well have the place to yourselves………………

6. Phu Ruea National Park

When the heat in the valleys is oppressive, head up into the mountains for the cool air. The park can be crowded at times, but there are many trails and amazingly photogenic vistas. You don’t really appreciate the altitude you’ve reached until you look out over the distant valleys, look down on the clouds to see, through the wholes, the cities you just passed through. There are lots of nature trails for every difficulty level and transport for those who prefer or need rides up to the scenic overlooks. Thai national parks are grossly under-rated.
7. Haew Narok Waterfall
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 99 reviews
Reviewed By Raintree_Thailand - Bangkok, Thailand
Haew Narok Waterfall is hugely impressive -- IF you visit in rainy season! The amount of water thundering over the rocks is incredible and the drop is high enough to be very memorable. But a few warnings: 1. In dry season, the "falls" reduce to a trickle and there is really no reason to bother hiking to them. 2. The 1-kilometer trail going to the upper point of the falls is paved and very easy walking, but you don't see any part of the falls from the upper drop point. 3. The only way to actually see the falls is to climb down the steep steps (100+) to the view points below the falls. Some visitors who not in shape or who are concerned by steep steps, may find the climb down and back up to be more than they want to bite off, but the climb should be manageable for most people. The stairs are solid concrete and there are good handrails. 4. In rainy season, the mist from the falls is heavy and you will get a bit wet, with glasses, phones and cameras at risk of being soaked. 5. Rainy season is the time for leaches and, allow the park staff keep the trail swept pretty clean, you may encounter leaches now and then. Watch out for them and try to brush off before they start their lunch.

Pretty waterfalls and park area. We stayed about 30 minutes and hiked around and very near the falls. Easy walk. If you want to stay longer there is food and drink available. Restrooms too.

Although not a huge waterfall but it's easy to access with a very short distance walk from parking lot, we arrive around 4 pm, and had this waterfall as our private waterfall for an hour before the closing time. Really amazing place
10. Lampi Waterfall

There is one small town on Thailand's west coast called Thai Mueang. It is not really a tourist place, but it has a few hidden gems. Lam Pi national park has two main attractions. Lam Pi waterfall and National par beach. The waterfall is easily accessible by car or scooter, and you can enjoy swimming with the fishes that would give you some skin peeling. It is a great place for a half an hour to stop on your way to Khao Lak from Phuket or vice versa. The other attraction is the beautiful beach as a part of the National park, and it is located after the Thai Mueang beach. For both attractions, you buy one ticket for 100 baht. If you came by car or scooter, you pay an additional 20 baht for the vehicle. In the national park you can buy only water and soft drinks, there is no food. Of course, you can have an excellent meal at one of many restaurants in Thai Mueang beach itself outside of national park boundaries. While in Thai Mueang, you should also visit the beautiful wooden Ta Sai temple on the beach. Experience to remember.
