Route with Pics

Today made a daytrip from Kanchanaburi to Erawan Falls.
2h bus ride up and another 2h back, but relaxing on a Thai bus is certainly not such a bad way to spend some time.
The busses are totally "pimped" out with bright colors, chrome, plastic trim, 2000W+ worth of amplifiers,...fabulous.
Erawan falls is a 7-level waterfall with a trail along it which you can hike up.
Not difficult, quite touristic (even on a tue visit, I wouldn't do it on a weekend) but the nature and pools to swim in on the levels are stunning. The Erawan national park who manages the site charges a 200B foreigner-only entrance fee.
A condition which seems to be standard in Thaiand, as a falang the train, bus, entrance etc are always more expensive...hell, good thing they do not charge ridiculous amounts.
At each level you can swim in pools, one level more beautifull than the other.
Some of the bigger ones have fishes in them that wil come and suck on your feet.
If you are tickly, you have to keep moving around.
Surronding the falls are groups of opportunistic (fierce!) monkeys that will come and grab stuff out of your bag while you are in the water. We saw one stealing a bag of tissues, he was disappointed when opening his winnings :-)
