I am giving this trip 5 Stars based on the excellent work by our guide Watchira Tapaoloy and our driver. He was very informative and congenial. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. The trip, unfortunately, was not as described in on the Tripadvisor site in several ways. The trip to the Erawan Falls was beautiful and the Thai lunch was tasty. We had to cut our trek up the falls a bit short due to time constraints as we were concerned about completing the tour in the 12 hours described in the summary. It is a long drive from Bangkok to the Falls, and the traffic congestion in Bangkok (particularly in the 6-9 AM and the 4-8 PM time periods) is absolutely horrid. We had dinner reservations in Bangkok at 8:30 that evening and we did not even reach our hotel by that time. I believe that describing this trip as 12 hours, even on a weekend day, is a stretch. On a weekday, it should be described as 14 - 15 hours. Our driver was very patient and got us through as effectively as possible, but it was not a pleasant experience. The trip description included a ride on the Death Railway, and while we did stop at the River Kwai Bridge and look around, we were told that a ride on the train was not part of the trip. We had been looking forward to that ride. If that aspect is not included, it should be removed from the description and/or offered as an option. The bamboo raft trip was pleasant but brief. The trip description indicated that swimming from the raft was possible, but we were not offered the chance to swim. Had we known the length of time we were to be on the road, we would probably have selected a tour closer to Bangkok.

The tour guide [a] and the driver was great for this trip. Provide information and items to look at. She walked the full 3 levels with us and took pictures

Siri was an amazing and very informative guide. Straight away she made me feel comfortable and I her company was fantastic! She took so many amazing photos during the day which will be fantastic memories - having a private guide is well worth it just for that alone! Erawan Waterfalls is absolutely stunning, we were lucky to be there after plenty of rainfall so the waterfalls were flowing. We then went Bamboo Rafting which was very different but relaxing! Then onto Death Railway and the Bridge over River Kwai, touristy but not to be missed! 5* Tour and 100% recommend to anyone!
