The Emerald Pool or also called
Sa Morakot is a unique natural pond with a visually limpid blue color and wonderfully warm waters, making it a stunning spot for swimming in. An abundance of minerals from the surrounding limestone hills gives the pool its jade tone.

Sa Morakot is a unique natural pond with a visually limpid blue color and wonderfully warm waters, making it a stunning spot for swimming in. An abundance of minerals from the surrounding limestone hills gives the pool its jade tone.
Nearby the Emerald Pool you’ll find the Blue Lagoon, a beautiful pool with deep aquamarine-blue water. But don’t be tempted to take a dip in the lovely looking blue water, because unlike in the Emerald Pool you can’t swim here at all! The bottom consists of quicksand and the water temperature varies between 30 and 50 degrees Celcius.
After visit to the Emerald Pool and Blue Lagoon we will stop for lunch at a local restaurant (approx. 1 hour - lunch is for own expenses).
National Park fee THB 400 per person is not included and has to be paid cash.

Amazing trip ! Would definitely recommend - We had an amazing day visiting the Emerald Pool, hot springs and the Tiger Cave Temple. The Emerald Pool national park was so beautiful and our tour guide Otto was very knowledgeable about all the different plants and species in the national park. We were able to swim in the emerald pool which was an incredible experience. We ate in the restaurant at the park and the food was really good value and delicious. The hot springs were beautiful too and the Tiger Cave Temple was unbelievable. Although, the climb was no joke - it was difficult but the views at the top made it very worth it. Overall our wonderful experiences were all thanks to Otto who was so friendly and helpful and made our day.

Favourite day of Krabi! - Otto my tour guide was the best! Was very knowledgeable and super nice. I learnt a lot about Thai culture, language, and nature. The whole tour was planned very well and there was enough time to do everything in the different locations. Lots of aircon in the car and very safe driving. Would definitely recommend!
Thank you Otto for being the best tour guide :)

Love those pools. - It was a good experience to visit the pools full of colors. Moreover to swim in the first pool (crystal pool). The water is full of minerals to nurture and beautify your skins. The second pool is hot springs, oh it is like an onsen. Natural hot springs with choices of pool temperatures of 35, 40, 45, 60 Celsius in a nature. Excellent.

Awesome - AB great guide, very well organised and we were kept informed throughout the day. We went to the pool early, arrived 9:45am, opening time was 10am so not many people in pool. Wear comfy shoes for temple steps, 1260 steps and there is water fountain at the top!

Excellent Experience - Otto, our tour guide, was amazing! We started our journey to the Emerald Pool and experienced the warmth of the water near the rocks. It was about a kilometer from the starting point, with a 2-kilometer hike up to the Blue Pool. We had a Thai lunch and then drove to the Hot Spring, finally heading to the cave temple, which required climbing about 1,260 steps!

Amazing Krabi experience - The views in all the places were amazing. The walk for both national parks were quite tiring but worth it! Temple hike is quite difficult but if you can manage, it will be worth it!

Do not book this one - The guide, Bass, was extremely rude. He didn't give sufficient time at any spot. He set unrealistic deadlines for coming back to him. Moreover, he skipped Crystal Pool just because our group was late by 5 mins while coming back from Blue Pool. A few members forgot their belongings because they were afraid that the guide would leave them at the spot if they got late even by a minute. Go for any other operator! WanderSiam is terrible.
