Located in Khlong Thom District, Krabi, the Emerald Pool is a famous natural crystal-clear pond surrounded by lush rainforest. Its striking turquoise-green water draws travelers from all over the world.

Highlights & The Magic Behind the Color

• Emerald Green Water: The natural green hue comes from rich minerals such as calcium carbonate, magnesium, and carbonates dissolved in the underground thermal water. When sunlight hits the pool, it reflects a bright emerald color.
• Warm Temperature: The pool stays comfortably warm (around 30–50°C), making it a relaxing spot for a refreshingly unique swim.

Key Spots to Explore

• Emerald Pool (Sra Morakot): The main natural swimming pool, about 1–2 meters deep, perfect for swimming and soaking.
• Blue Pool (Nam Phut): The crystal-blue water source that feeds the Emerald Pool. Watch natural bubbles rise to the surface when you clap! (Note: Swimming is strictly prohibited here to preserve the environment).
• Nature Trail: A scenic 800m – 1.4km wooden boardwalk through the lowland forest, ideal for birdwatching and exploring native flora.
