Top tips
- The train from Bangkok takes about 2.5 hours; vans about 3 hours.
- Erawan Falls is best on a weekday.
- Raft-house stays on the river are a highlight.
- Why it's underrated: Waterfalls and river stays within easy reach of the capital.
Before you go
- Check the latest entry requirements and travel advice on GOV.UK.
- Buy travel insurance (and carry your GHIC in Europe).
- Check baggage allowances — budget airline fees add up.
