Walking
From the main visitor center in Erawan National Park, head towards the trail leading to Erawan Falls. Follow the marked path for approximately 1.5 kilometers until you reach the 3rd tier of the falls. From there, take the side trail marked for Phalad Waterfall. This trail is about 1 kilometer long and may take around 30 minutes to walk. The path is well-marked, but be cautious as it can be steep and slippery in some areas.
Rental Bicycle
If you prefer to cycle, you can rent a bicycle from the visitor center. After renting, cycle along the main road within the park towards Erawan Falls. When you reach the 3rd tier, park your bicycle and continue on foot via the designated trail leading to Phalad Waterfall. The ride is about 2 kilometers, which should take around 10-15 minutes, and then an additional 30 minutes of walking to the waterfall.

Consider joining a guided tour that includes Phalad Waterfall as part of the itinerary. Many tour operators in Kanchanaburi offer packages that include transportation to Erawan National Park and a guided hike to Phalad Waterfall.
