Visitors should explore Erawan National Park between November and February, during the dry season. The nights are cool and the days mild, providing ideal conditions for hiking and exploring the park. During this time, the water in Erawan Falls is clearer and inviting for swimming. However, the park is also very crowded at this time. From June to October, during the rainy season, the waterfalls carry more water, but the trails in the park are dangerous due to slippery conditions, and landslides can lead to park closures. It is recommended to visit the park during the week, as it gets very busy on weekends.
