At this moment, there is no one who does not know "Nakee", which we are also one of the devotees because we are very addicted to this drama 5555

In addition to the intense and engaging content of the drama, this drama also has beautiful scenes. One of the scenes that we like the most is the scene that reminisces about the past of the male and female leads at Erawan Waterfall.

Anyone who wants to know where this waterfall is, how to get there, and how beautiful it is, follow us!!!


Erawan Waterfall is a large waterfall on the banks of the Khwae Yai River, located in Si Sawat District, Kanchanaburi Province. It has a total of 7 tiers and was originally named "Sathon Mong Lai Waterfall" after the Mong Lai Stream, which is the source of the waterfall and originates from the Mong Lai Peak in the Salop Mountain Range.

However, due to our slightly off-season visit, the water level was quite low, even extremely low in some sections, with some sections completely dry. Despite the lack of water, the scenery still offered a unique kind of beauty. (Let's consider it a consolation prize for lugging a bulky tripod and trekking over 4 kilometers to capture these images for you all. T^T)


Tier 1: Returning to the Nest Waterfall

This tier is home to a large population of pla pluang fish. Visitors can swim in the waterfall and take a golf cart to the area near the waterfall.

Second Tier: Wang Matcha (Fish Pond)

This tier, aptly named "Fish Pond," is teeming with fish and offers a unique opportunity to walk behind the cascading waterfall. Fans of the Thai drama "Nakee" will recognize this as the location where Ratana was imprisoned in a cave before being rescued by Kamkaew.

Tier 3 Waterfall: Pha Namtok

This is our favorite tier, featuring water cascading down a steep cliff.

It was also the filming location for the scene where the protagonists recall their past lives in the drama series "Nakee".

Butterfly Chest Waterfall, Level 4

The rock formations in the waterfall resemble a woman's breasts or the bosom of a sea butterfly, with the cascading water enveloping two large, smooth boulders.

Tier 5 Waterfall: Unending Descent

This tier features cascading water flowing over a series of low rock formations, making it a popular spot for tourists to enjoy a refreshing dip.

Sixth Tier: Dong Phrueksa

This tier is characterized by a diverse array of trees surrounding the waterfall, creating a picturesque scene. However, during this particular trip, the waterfall lacked water, which was a disappointment.


Eravan Waterfall's 7th Tier: A Breathtaking Sight

After a challenging 2-kilometer hike, we finally reached the 7th tier of Eravan Waterfall. The sight was truly breathtaking. The cascading water flowed over the rocky cliffs, resembling the three heads of Erawan, the mythical three-headed elephant. This resemblance inspired the name of both the waterfall's 7th tier and the entire Eravan National Park.

The cool, refreshing water instantly washed away our fatigue. Despite visiting during the dry season when the water flow was minimal, we were still captivated by the beauty of this natural wonder.
