River Kwai and Erawan National Park

 December Saturday 30th, 2023. We traveled along the river Kwai in Kanchanaburi, Thailand until we arrived at Erawan National Park. Where we hiked several km both up and down the mountain of this national park to observe some stunning and captivating views and waterfalls. Visiting and viewing all of the waterfalls provides a gruelling workout but the reward is worth the investment.

We saw tons of fish, spiders, monkeys, butterflies , dragonflies, and various other insects. We did not see the green tree snakes that they had warnings about. Thankfully!

We found a place to eat called Nakwan Restaurant and Coffee. I orders basil pork with 2 fried eggs while AEW ordered fried mushrooms, spicy fish, and shrimp with some mountain/river vegetable which is only available in this area.

We ended the day at "OYO 75308 Pea Najan Home Resort" on the River Kwai. It was the 4th or 5th resort on the river we stopped at which was full. However the owner had several no shows for unpaid reservations and gave us someone's reservation. She said I don't care, I don't get the reservation money. When we got to our room we saw other people arriving. The resort also had party rooms on the river which had "swimming pools". These were railed off from the river but in the river. Ick!
