Experience Krabi's Natural Wonders

Journey into the heart of the Thung Teao Forest Natural Park to discover the jewel of Krabi, the Emerald Pool (Sa Morakot). This crystal-clear pond is renowned for its changing colors and refreshing mineral waters, fed by natural streams from the hills above. Your adventure extends beyond just swimming; trek through the lowland rainforest to witness the vibrant Blue Pool, soak in the therapeutic cascades of the Namtok Ron Hot Spring Waterfall, and challenge yourself with a climb to the summit of the Tiger Cave Temple for panoramic views of the Andaman region.

Highlight of our trip!

The Emerald Pool is absolutely stunning. The water is so clear it looks like glass. Our guide was fantastic and got us there before the big crowds. The hot springs were also a lovely way to relax. Highly recommend!

Challenging but worth it

The Tiger Cave Temple climb is no joke—1,260 steps! But the view from the top is incredible. The dip in the Emerald Pool afterwards was the perfect reward. Great tour organization.

Beautiful nature

The Blue Pool is mesmerizing, though you can't swim in it. The walk through the jungle was pleasant. Lunch provided was simple but tasty Thai food. Good value for money.

Great day out

Everything ran on time. The van was comfortable and air-conditioned. The hot springs were unique—natural jacuzzis in the river! Just bring bug spray.

Must do in Krabi

A perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. The jungle trek is easy enough for most people. The guide explained a lot about the local plants and history.

Good variety

You get to see three major spots in one day. It's a long day but convenient. The Emerald Pool was a bit crowded by noon, but still beautiful.

Magical place

The color of the water is unreal. Make sure to walk further to see the Blue Pool. The Tiger Cave Temple was spiritual and offers the best view in Krabi.
