Are you ready for an unforgettable journey through the wilderness of Krabi province? Join us on this full-day tour into the heart of nature, uncovering three of Krabi’s most captivating attractions: the Tiger Cave Temple; the Emerald Pool and a natural hot spring.

Hot springs

Our first destination on this adventure takes us deep into the Krabi forest, approximately 40 kilometers south of Krabi Town, to the enchanting Klong Thom Waterfall. While the waterfall itself cascades gently for a few meters, it holds a unique secret. The spring water feeding it emerges from the earth at a scorching temperature exceeding 50 degrees Celsius. As the spring water flows to the cascade, it gradually cools, offering a cooling spot below where you can enjoy a nice bath. This natural hot spring experience amidst the forest’s embrace is both invigorating and rejuvenating, providing the perfect start to our day-long adventure through Krabi’s jungle.

Emerald Pool

Our journey continues with a short trek through the dense jungle to reach the Emerald Pool, also known as the Crystal Lagoon. Nestled within the Khao Phra Bang Khram Nature Reserve, this 120-square-meter freshwater pond is a natural wonder. The waters of the pool take on a mesmerizing green hue, owing to the abundant minerals sourced from the limestone hills that surround it.This picturesque oasis is perfect for a refreshing swim, allowing you to escape the heat of the day.

Tiger Cave Temple

Our adventure ends at the beautiful Tiger Cave Temple, known locally as Wat Tahm Suea, about 3 kilometers from Krabi Town. The temple gets its name from a rock formation nearby, which resembles a tiger’s claw.The trail to the top has 1,239 steps. From here you will have a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape.
