Arwan National Park is undoubtedly one of the most loved and beautiful in Thailand. He is near Kanchanaburi But also accessible From Bangkok. Its area is 550 square kilometers. The place offers a diverse landscape and impressive nature with caves, waterfalls, various animals, birds and also unique plants.
During your visit to the park, you should not miss the seven Arwan waterfalls - the most famous part of the park. They are in the eastern part of the park and a short walk from the parking lot. The waterfalls are not considered big or wild in Thailand, but they are undoubtedly among the most beautiful and impressive, thanks in large part to the colors and the way the water flows. The upper waterfall is especially known for its resemblance to the three-headed elephant from Hindu mythology, hence the name of the falls and the entire park. Try to get there as early as possible, because the place gets extremely busy.
Another spot not to be missed in Arwan National Park is the Pre Tat Cave. The cave, which is 544 meters long, is full of stalactites and bat burrows. Also try the Wang Ba Dan cave which reaches a length of 740 meters and is made of limestone.
If you want to do a walking route with a successful view and you only have time for one, choose Khao Hin Lan Phi, which is 5 km long and can be completed in two or three hours. You may need to be accompanied by a ranger from the reserve part of the way.
The site is extremely popular and loved by tourists and locals alike. This means that on weekends it is packed and on holidays in general it is recommended to avoid coming, because celebrations are held there and there are long lines just to enter.
Many companies offer shuttle services from Bangkok to the park, with pickup from the hotel key. Another option is to hire a guide who will take you on a guided tour around the park.
Arwan National Park is open to visitors every day from 8 am to 4:3 pm. However, the inspectors begin to close the more remote parts of the site as early as XNUMX o'clock and ask visitors to move towards the exit.
If you prefer to spend more than one day there, you have a camping site near the parking lot. You will have to pay a different amount for a sleeping bag (25 baht) and a tent (up to 250 baht) per day. If accommodation in the field is less suitable for you, you can stay in the park's bungalows, where the price ranges from 800 baht per night to 5000 baht.
You can find many restaurants in the area of the car park, but the prices there are high and the food is basic. If you move a few kilometers away from the park, you will find restaurants with more reasonable prices.
Entry price for tourists is 300 baht for adults and 200 baht for children. If you come with a car, you will have to pay another 20 baht for a motorcycle and 30 baht for a car.
