Morning light pins the limestone into a hard edge as the bus pulls away from Bangkok’s density and opens onto rubber plantations and low hills. By midmorning you’re at Erawan National Park, where the Huai Mong Lai waters push down a series of cascades and invite you to step into cool, clear tiers that feel carved for exploration.
