The establishment of the national park was declared in the Royal Thai Government Gazette on 19 June 1975 and came into effect the following day.[1] This park area was further modified in 1995.[2]
The major attraction of the park is Erawan Falls, a waterfall named after Erawan, the three-headed white elephant of Hindu mythology. The seven-tiered falls are said to resemble Erawan.[4] There are four caves in the park: Mi, Rua, Wang Badan, and Phrathat.[5] Rising northeast of the waterfall area there is a breast-shaped hill named Khao Nom Nang.[6]
Flora
Mixed deciduous forest accounts for 81% of the national park area.[7] Deciduous dipterocarp forest accounts for 1.68% of the national park area. Dry evergreen forests account for 14.35% of the national park area.[citation needed]
