A seven-tiered waterfall in Erawan National Park whose upper pools glow an almost unreal turquoise — you climb alongside the cascades through jungle, swimming in emerald basins where little fish nibble your toes.
On the Kwai in Kanchanaburi, whole restaurants — and hotels — float on bamboo-and-drum rafts moored to the bank. You eat river fish over the water, the current tugging gently beneath your feet, and can slip straight in for a swim.
