The first four tiers are relatively easy to manoeuvre but you\u2019ll have to work out a sweat to conquer the other levels (it\u2019s a distance of 1500 meters, after all). The path gets really steep as you head to the top \u2013 or worse, slippery and muddy if it rains in the morning \u2013 so be cautious and follow the pathways. Treat yourself to a dip, Tarzan style, in the refreshing emerald pools, slide down rocks and get a free fish spa after slogging it up to the top. To be honest, the fifth tier is probably the most beautiful so don\u2019t trouble yourself to climb all seven levels if you\u2019re not up for the challenge.<\/p>\n<p>The Erawan National Park, is just over an hour away from Kanchanaburi town so best to travel by car.

I was surprised to see Maenamkwai street come alive with pubs and bars \u2013 though I wasn\u2019t a fan of how they were competing on who could blast the loudest club music. We opted for supper at Triple B Bar, an Aussie-owned pub where you can get everything from an American breakfast to authentic Thai food. I spent hours playing pool and listening to the live band.
