Erawan National Park, The Winer of 2006 Thailand Tourism Awards in the Natural Site - Central Region


Thailand’s national parks are now gaining recognition in national travel awards. Designed to honour those who promote the conservation of nature and culture and contribute to sustainable tourism development, tourism awards are beginning to give recognition to national parks which are demonstrating their capacity to foster eco-tourist activities.

Erawan National Park, located northwest of Bangkok in the Tenasserim Mountain Range, Kanchanaburi province, has been recognised by the Tourism Authority of Thailand in the 2006 Thailand Tourism Awards in the Natural Site - Central region category.

Considered one of the country’s finest natural attractions, Erawan National Park is best known for its seven-tiered waterfall topped by a rock formation shaped like a three-headed elephant. From its crest, clear water tumbles in a series of cascades to rock pools shaded by dense foliage.
