Just close by, the hot springs are today’s last stop and like the Emerald Pool part of  a whole network of streams and basins filled with thermal spring water at a pleasant 35° - 40° C.
Here you can enjoy your own natural "hot tub Jacuzzi" and place your back against the smooth rounded rocks, having a natural hydrotherapy bath that relieves stress and tension and soothes your aching muscles.

Also known as  the Crystal Pool or Sa Morakot in Thai. This is an rich-hued natural pool in one of the last significant remaining plots of ancient lowland rainforest in Krabi and the whole of Thailand, filled with clear thermal spring water.
Sa Morakot is part of the Khao Phra Bang Kram Nature Reserve. We walk the 2,5 Km nature trail through the jungle to the emerald pool, where you can bath and relax.

Krabi’s most important  Buddhist temple Wat Tham Suea, which literally means tiger cave temple, is located in the Khiriwong Valley amidst lush forests and mountains with several hundred years old large trees approximately 9 kilometers northeast of  the town. Like other forest temples Wat Tham Suea’s many buildings and shrines spreat over a vast area.
The temple was founded 30 years ago, after the monk Luang Por Chamnean Srilasetatho came to meditate in one of the many caves of the towering limestone cliffs in the area.
“As legend has it, while meditating alone, a tiger came into the cave but did not harm him. Thus the temple was created on that spot.”
1237 steps lead up to the top of the 300m high cliff and its hilltop shrine, a climb, not for the fainthearted, which rewards with the most beautiful panoramic view of the region. Please keep in mind to dress appropriately while visiting the temple!
