River Kwai and Erawan Waterfalls - Fantastic trip! Luke was an amazing host for the day. He told us a lot of interesting information about the Kwai Bridge and its construction, which helped bring the history to life. The trip to the waterfalls was excellent - they really are beautiful. I would definitely recommend this day trip.

It was a long day, but I... - It was a long day, but I came back more educated about some important Thai history, and refreshed from swimming at the waterfalls. The guide happily took photos of me at key spots and did a good job of keeping the trip moving according to the schedule. If you are looking for an informative day trip with a good swim spot, I would highly recommend this trip.
