The Erawan Waterfall or Erawan Waterfall is located in Erawan National Park, Si Sawat District, Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand. The Erawan waterfall is one of the jewels of Thailand. His name is a reference to the mythological Elephant Erawan. One of its names means 'one who weaves or binds the clouds', because the myth says that these elephants are capable of producing clouds.

Hellfire Pass is a section of the famous Death Railway where the Japanese prisoners cut a long and deep trench into a huge rock mass to allow the passage of the railway. This passage dug in the rock extends on 500 meters, on a height of 26 meters. This place was named Hellfire Pass by the prisoners, because at night, the lighting was provided by torches, which gave it an infernal and ghostly appearance. The Hellfire Pass museum displays photos, maps, models, and illustrations from the time. Information is provided about the railway and what happened in this area. The museum has a small screening room, where a short video shows some stages of the construction and where we can also hear the dialogues of several Australian prisoners of war.
