Founded in 1975, Erawan National Park in western Thailand encompasses 212 square miles of deciduous forest and limestone hills riddled with fascinating caves. The highlight of the park is Erawan Falls, a 7-tiered waterfall whose emerald-green pools are teeming with tiny fish. Six of the tiers can be accessed by a series of trails and bridges, but reaching the seventh tier requires climbing up several cliffs. Amenities at the waterfall include a visitors center, a variety of shops, bungalows, campsites, and restaurants, but visitors should be aware that food is not permitted past the second tier of the waterfall.
