Emerald Pool and Hot Springs – Krabi
Escape to the jungle and discover natural wonders. Swim in the crystal-clear Emerald Pool, relax in natural hot springs, and explore pristine rainforest.
What You Will Visit
1. Emerald Pool (Sa Morakot)
A stunning natural pool with crystal-clear turquoise water fed by underground streams. The water temperature is refreshingly cool (around 25-30°C) and the setting is surrounded by lush rainforest.
2. Blue Pool (Crystal Pool)
A 10-15 minute jungle walk from Emerald Pool leads to an even more stunning Blue Pool. Swimming is not allowed here to preserve its pristine condition, but the view is spectacular.
3. Hot Spring Waterfall (Namtok Ron Khlong Thom)
Natural hot springs cascade over rocks creating natural jacuzzis. The mineral-rich water (35-42°C) is believed to have therapeutic properties.
