Heavy rain causes temporary prohibition of waterfall swimming at Erawan National Park due to increased water levels
In a recent development, Erawan National Park in Kanchanaburi has temporarily suspended waterfall swimming activities from September 16, 2025, due to strong rainfall causing the waterfall to swell, creating safety concerns.
The suspension of the popular waterfall activities does not affect the admiration of the "Elephant Head Split" phenomenon, a unique natural spectacle at Erawan Waterfall. This intriguing phenomenon takes place at the cliff above the seventh tier of the waterfall, the waterfall's source. During the "Elephant Head Split" phenomenon, large volumes of water cascade down with force and divide into three streams, resembling the three heads of the mythological elephant, Erawan.
Khwanjai Noinarai, the head of Erawan National Park, emphasises that the suspension is a measure aimed at ensuring visitor safety. Visitors can still admire the "Elephant Head Split" phenomenon at Erawan National Park during the temporary suspension of waterfall swimming activities.
It's essential to note that the "Elephant Head Split" phenomenon is not related to the heavy rainfall that caused the suspension of waterfall swimming activities. Moreover, it is not affected by any ongoing political or military conflicts.
Visitors are urged to strictly follow staff guidance during their visit and are advised to follow updates on reopening and other park news via the park's official Facebook page: Erawan National Park. The reopening date remains unspecified and will be announced later.
The unusually strong currents are a result of the heavy rainfall. Waterfall swimming activities have been temporarily prohibited to ensure safety until conditions return to normal.
It's also important to clarify that the "Elephant Head Split" phenomenon is not a sponsored or advertised attraction by any airlines mentioned in the related tags.
In conclusion, while waterfall swimming activities are temporarily unavailable at Erawan National Park, visitors can still marvel at the breathtaking "Elephant Head Split" phenomenon. Safety remains the top priority for the park authorities, and updates on the reopening of waterfall activities will be communicated via the park's official Facebook page.
