Spend a day inland from Krabi’s beaches exploring a Buddha-cliff temple, warm mineral springs, and a crystalline jungle pool. This full-day shared tour balances easy rainforest walks with a steep temple climb and time to swim.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the minivan into humid forest light—leaf litter soft underfoot, birds calling from the limestone ridges—and the day opens like a folded map. The route threads three distinct inland highlights: Wat Tham Suea (Tiger Cave Temple) with its stair-stepped ascent, a steaming natural hot spring, and the clear, jade pool known locally as the Emerald Pool. Each stop feels like a different chapter of Krabi’s interior.

History
Tiger Cave Temple is an active Buddhist monastery and meditation site set on a limestone outcrop; the inland pools sit within the protected Khao Phra Bang Khram forest reserve.
Conservation
The national park fee helps manage the reserve; visitors should stay on boardwalks, avoid contaminating pools with lotions, and carry out all trash to protect sensitive karst streams.

Temple Dress Code
Wear or carry a light cover that reaches shoulders and knees—you’ll need to remove shoes and show respect at Wat Tham Suea.
Hydrate Early and Often
It’s hot and humid; carry the provided bottled water and bring an extra bottle if you sweat heavily, especially before the temple climb.
Footwear for Two Terrains
Choose shoes with good grip for stairs and dirt trails but bring sandals if you plan to swim at the Emerald Pool.
No Sunscreen in Pools
Avoid lotions before entering natural pools—minerals and park rules mean you should rinse off and keep chemicals out of the water.
Sturdy walking shoes
Grip and support for dirt paths and the long stair climb at Tiger Cave Temple.
Swimwear and quick-dry towel
For swimming at the Emerald Pool and relaxing in the 39°C hot spring.
