Emerald Pool in Krabi is a must-visit for nature lovers. The lush greenery and the crystal-clear pond create a serene and breezy atmosphere — perfect for relaxation and enjoying the beauty of nature. The water is refreshing, and the surroundings are truly picturesque. However, there is room for improvement in maintaining common facilities. The public toilets could benefit from better hygiene management to enhance the overall visitor experience. That said, the natural beauty of this place is undeniable. With a bit more attention to cleanliness, it could easily be a 5-star destination. Still highly recommended for those exploring Krabi!
Emerald Pool – A Jungle Swim Spot Near Krabi This natural mineral pool is tucked away in the middle of the jungle, about 800 meters from the park entrance. It’s a well-managed area with lockers, restrooms, and benches if you just want to chill and enjoy the view. The pool itself is a lovely emerald green and open for swimming, which makes it a refreshing stop on a hot day. However I got the feeling that the pool for swimming is manmade. It didn’t quite feel natural. It’s not the most mind-blowing spot, but if you’re into natural pools and want a dip in crystal-clear water surrounded by lush jungle, it’s a cool experience. The area is part of a conservation zone, so expect a bit of a nature reserve vibe. For foreigners, there’s an entrance fee of 400 baht, and parking is just 20 baht. There are food and drink stalls around, and nearby showers are handy if you’re swimming. Just note that public restrooms outside charge a small fee too. Overall, it’s a nice detour if you’re in the Krabi area and want a peaceful swim in a natural setting—but not necessarily a must-visit if you’re short on time.
This isn't Jiuzhaigou — it's the famous Emerald Pool in Krabi, Thailand. The entrance fee for foreigners is 400 baht per person. Its main attractions are the three-colored pools: Crystal Pool, Emerald Pool, and Blue Pool. The Blue Pool is the most natural and beautiful, well-preserved, and you can even see active thermal bubbles at the bottom. Highly recommended, especially for budget travelers like us — it's even cheaper than going to China! If you happen to visit Krabi, this is a must-see attraction. Experiencing it in person is truly unforgettable and absolutely worth it. Entrance ticket buy at the entrance and cash only, no Thai QR.
