The tourist attraction here is the “emerald color pools” that are situated in between the smooth stone, located in a beautiful dense jungle. The bath-tubs are filled with fresh blue-green water, the water comes from the spring which is very pleasant because of the temperature which stays 35- 42 C. Tourists go over there in the beautiful weather to soak themselves in the water to take a refreshing bath in the river which is neat and clean right below these bath-tubs.

- There are many other trials to explore around, if you are and explore more than a traveler this should be on your go-to list.
We always suggest a nice and well organize tour, but in case you want to go alone!
In case you are going over there for the first time and have no idea about the transport, then you have the option of renting a car, or grab a cab.
- You can pay the entrance fee of 90 baht to enjoy the hot springs.
- And in for the Khao Phra Bang Khram Nature Reserves or the Krabi Emerald pool will be around 200 baht.
We do not recommend renting a scooter for these distances.
We will not recommend going on a small bike to these sites. The distance is too much, although going on a bike would be so much fun. But, your safety is the top priority, and you cannot go over their tired because this is a lot more to explore over there and then relax in the hot pool of Krabi emerald pool.
