We had a great 2 D Trip to Erawan an Sai Yok NP. For us it was a perfect tour to explore the area of Kanchanaburi and it's surroundings plus NPs. We had some unique experiences like floating on the river kwai noi and walking across the death railway bridge. Our guide Jacky was extraordinary, he was always concernd about us, very nice and he also has a lot to tell. We would totally recommend this tour, it is a great experience.
