A couple hours away from Erawan Falls, lies Maekhamin Waterfalls. Again, for nature lovers, this is a must visit, but has the advantage of being far less crowded than Erawan. Rent a car and get there, it's stunning and gorgeous, and dip off in the pools.
There is little to any English spoken in the area, and there are no ATM's so make sure you bring enough cash. That said, the area is cheap and inexpensive, and is a great experience.
Watch the video below and sift through the photos to get an idea of the area's beauty. Enjoy! :)

so beautiful here
the water looks like a mirage- such gorgeous colors
There is a vast dichotomy between the loud, sprawling, and often ugly cities of Asia and the quiet, beautiful nature which still surrounds them. Only a few hours away from Thailand's sprawling capital lies Erawan National Park, home to a 7 level waterfall.
It's a meditative experience watching the light blue water cascading down the mountains, cleverly changing its course as the jungle's obstacles present.
the fish doctors will nibble at your feet
Dip your feet into the pools and have the "doctor" fish nibbling upon them within seconds. Instinctually you pull your feet away, squeamish like a child. Moments later you place them back in a water on a dare, and see how long you last with the jungle "sharks" having at your feet.
Walk up the mountain to the various levels of the falls, cooling off in the pools forming below them, showering under their flowing heavy deluge if you dare.
