Raining season but managed to go for all activities. The emerald pool was not too crowded, blue pool was ok to look at and the tiger cave temple if u have the stamina can try climbing the 1200 steep steps. Guide Sathit was friendly and knowledgeable.

The trip left a good impression. I am very pleased with the guide, she showed and told everything well. A separate impression was from the tiger cave. The climb to the height deserves special attention. The climb to the height is not easy, but then all this is rewarded with beautiful views of Krabi and rest at the height. It is worth it.

I cannot recommend this experience highly enough! Our driver, Man, was absolutely incredible—punctual, courteous, helpful, and just all-around fantastic. He went above and beyond by taking photos for us at several of our stops and even brought us to a delicious local restaurant for lunch. After each stop, he always had the car cool and ready to go with the AC running, which was such a thoughtful and much-appreciated touch. Truly, Man made our day so smooth and enjoyable—I’d recommend him without hesitation!

It was good chance to explore greenery zone in Krabi with waterfalls. Dunkin the tour guide explained us clearly and well organized the tour with friendly mind. Blue pool is the best spot to see but not allowed to swim. Don't miss to burnout to the top of Tiger Cave temple.

Since it rained, he made us have lunch earlier so we could enjoy Emerald Pool once the rain stopped, awesome!! And lunch: everything was tasty, great!

Remarkable Landmarks and Must-Visit Sights

The Hot Springs of Krabi

The Hot Springs of Krabi are natural 'hot tub jacuzzis' with fresh water coming from thermal springs deep underground, maintaining a constant temperature of 35 - 42 °C. These mineral-rich waters are believed to have health benefits, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy nature. The area is surrounded by butterflies and lush greenery, adding to the serene atmosphere.

The Emerald Pool and Blue Lagoon

The Emerald Pool, also known as 'Sa Morakot' or 'Crystal Pool,' is a stunning natural pool with crystal-clear waters. Located in Thung Teao Forest Natural Park, visitors can reach it via a short 800m trail or a scenic 2.7km nature trail. The Blue Lagoon, located 500m from the Emerald Pool, is a hidden gem with striking blue waters surrounded by lush vegetation. Swimming is not allowed here, preserving its pristine beauty.

The Tiger Cave Mountain Temple

The Tiger Cave Mountain Temple offers one of the most breathtaking views in Krabi. To reach the top, visitors must climb 1,260 steps, a challenging but rewarding journey.

Be prepared to cover your knees and shoulders, especially for women, and stay hydrated during the climb.
