Erawan waterfalls



A couple I met the night before at dinner, Landra and Opossum, where in Kanchanaburi as the last stop before going home to Seattle. They were experienced motorcycle renters and told me the best way to get around is on a motorcycle. It is actually a small scooter/moped, although it has a lot of power. So we head off for the Erawan Waterfalls, about 60km.
The waterfalls, inside a national park have 7 steps and a most of the steps you can go in to swim. This is the biggest pool where you can climb behind the falls. Inside the pool there are a lot of fish. If you stand still in the water these fish will come to suck your toes. A strange feeling to say the least.
At the fourth level, there were even slides in the rocks.
Walking up the different levels, we passed this tree. The Thai believe that trees and especially tall trees have a close relation with the Buddha. This tree was decorated with dresses and ribbons, which were a sacrifice to Buddha.
