Erawan national park

Today we woke up early and started the day off with a hearty breakfast of fruit salad and banana pancakes! I had been missing pancakes quite a lot recently so it was a great way to kick off the morning! We weren't sure if there was food where we were headed. I guess I should go ahead and say where we were going. Erawan national park featuring a seven tier water fall! Yea we were pretty pumped. In the two pictures below you can see the pimptastic bus that we took.





The picture below was a sign that we saw posted at the entrance of the park. It was pretty much requesting that the white people keep their clothes on.


When Thai people see a spirit somewhere they make offerings to it. That is what is going on with this wrapped up tree. Not only was is a park with a seven tiered waterfall, but apparently it was also quite haunted because we saw at least five of these trees if not more. Maybe it's the spirits of all the tourists who tried to do stupid stuff on it. That would be a good way to keep people in line on the trail. They should really consider spreading that story.


Below are some of the pictures of the waterfalls. They were awesome! In the pools beneath them were fish that liked to nibble at your feet. Some of them had more snap to their bite than you would expect!








This is me on top of the seventh tier of the waterfall. Funny thing about taking a picture on top of a waterfall, nobody can really tell you're on it. Oh well it was cool! The trail to get there was intense. Lots of rock climbing, tree crossing, and slippery stepping was involved. But hey that's all part of the adventure right?
