Practical tips
- •The WWII sites here are significant and sensitive — it's worth dedicating real time, not just a photo by the bridge.
- •Erawan Falls is least crowded early morning, before the buses from Bangkok arrive.
- •Most historical sites require independent driving or an organized tour — less accessible by independent public transit.
