Day tour to the Emerald Pool, Hot Springs Waterfall and Tiger Cave Temple
| 08.30 to 09.00 | Pick up from your hotel. | |
| 09.20 | Take a 1-hour and 20-minute drive from Ao Nang to the Hot Springs and Waterfalls of Klong Thom. These Hot Springs are a very popular destination for locals and tourists alike. Known as nature’s own hot tub jacuzzis, the water comes from thermal springs, originating deep underground. Located in the jungle, this site features naturally hollowed-out ‘bathtubs’ in the smooth stone, filled with fresh running spring water at a pleasant temperature of 35-42C. After a soak, take a refreshing dip in the cool river below. | |
| 11.00 | Travel on to the Emerald Pool, a beautiful, large natural pool that is filled with pure spring water located amidst a tropical rain forest considered to be one of the natural wonders of Krabi Province. The pool is reached via a network of trails through the Khao Nor Chu Chi forest where you’ll pass by a series of waterfalls and streams, plus hundreds of species of tropical trees and plants. Relax and take a swim in the beautiful, refreshing natural spring water. | |
| 01.20 | Have lunch. | |
| 02.00 | Head back down the main road to the Tiger Cave Temple located about 3 kilometres from Krabi Town, a temple complex where monks live and worship within a maze of natural caves in an overgrown jungle valley. Inside the caves, there are what appear to be tiger paw prints in the stone and the surrounding area is covered with large trees hundreds of years old. It is also a place of archaeological and historical interest with ancient stone tools and pottery remains having been found in excavations. You will also see families of monkeys roaming around the stairs and temple grounds. | |
