The highlight of Erawan National Park is the breathtakingly beautiful Erawan Falls, which is a series of cascades into rock pools. The wildlife at this national park includes pig-tailed macaques and rhesus macaques, and a small number of tigers - not usually encountered by casual visitors.

A 2-km hiking trail takes visitors through the national park, going up beside the waterfall. Another highlight of the park is the limestone cavern of Tham Wang Badan, on the west side of the park. Inside are numerous stalagmites and stalactities.

Erawan National Park is one of the most popular national parks in Thailand. Due to its relative proximity to Bangkok, it gets quite crowded during weekends.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
