Also 4 year olds would easily do it (if the kid loves running around and is active with stamina) , but for two year old to climb the steps might be a bit too much

Hi Jennifer. So sorry not to have seen your question until now. Hope you were able to visit, but if not, hope the falls are in your future travel plans. In the meantime, here's my thoughts on your questions: 1 Take as much time as you like. Depending on the levels of fitness and how much time you choose to spend at each falls, there's no need to rush. 2 Yes, swimming is allowed under the direction of staff and safety vests are available. Most folk are in T-shirts and swimming shorts. 3 From memory, yes, but not at every falls. 4 Yes.

No, it is absolutely NOT necessary to take pills against malaria. We spent 2 months in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. It is safe and on our trip we didn't have any issues with mosquitos.

You can filter the Tripadvisor reviews to see what reviews were submitted in August. Or you could try searching the wors August in the reviews

You don't need snorkelling shoes as such but any good quality trekking shoes should suffice.

Bonjour! Les cascades sont plus sèches que d’ordinaire mais la visite vaut quand même le coup. La septième cascade ne pars pas du sommet cependant. Donc bien moins impressionnante qu’en photo. N’hésitez pas à allez voir notre commentaire pour regarder les photos prise (mois de février)

If you would like to go, be there early morning, so it gives you time to explore and swim in each level as you please. I found it better to stay one day in Kanchanaburi, I left Bangkok in the afternoon and head to Kanchanaburi, my partner and I woke up early that morning and head to the bus terminal, which it was a ten minute walk from where we stayed and took the bus, it takes over an hour to get to the Waterfalls, but just the journey on its own (on those old buses), its an adventure! We got to Level 7 around 3pm and had just enough time before the guards start telling people to leave. Last bus leaves at 4, so you need to make sure you leave by half three max to get to the bus stop on time Then afterwards, you could go and visit tthe bridge and day after you could head yo another destination such as the floating market.

We used the Thai national parks taxi service (found via google). The driver was punctual, friendly, the price was really good and he made what ever stops we wanted on route. Picked us up in Sukhumvit at 6am, got to the falls just after 09:30am. The driver waited while we spent the day hiking. Got back to our hotel about 19:30pm. You are charged a flat rate but have to pay the park entrance fee additionally.
