Krabi Tiger Temple - Emerald Pool and Hot Springs Tour with Phuket Travel Store
If you are looking for an unforgettable Krabi day tour, the Tiger Cave Temple, Emerald Pool, and Hot Springs Tour is the perfect combination of culture, nature, and relaxation. With Phuket Travel Store, you will experience a guided eco-tour that highlights the best of Southern Thailand – from spiritual temples and jungle adventures to refreshing natural pools and volcanic hot springs. This day trip offers something for everyone: adventure seekers, culture lovers, families, and travelers looking to recharge in Krabi’s natural beauty.
Visit the Famous Tiger Cave Temple in Krabi
We begin the day with a visit to Wat Tham Sua (Tiger Cave Temple), one of the most sacred sites in Krabi, Thailand. This monastery is not only a religious landmark but also a spiritual retreat for monks living in the peaceful caves and surrounding forest. Visitors can walk through the temple grounds, admire the intricate statues, and observe Buddhist practices in a serene setting.
For those seeking adventure, the temple offers a challenge: climb the 1,260 steps to reach the golden Buddha statue at the top of the limestone mountain. The climb is demanding, but the reward is one of the best viewpoints in Krabi. From the summit, you can look out over lush rainforest, dramatic limestone karsts, and the Andaman Sea. It’s a breathtaking 360-degree panorama that makes the Tiger Cave Temple a must-visit destination on any Krabi tour itinerary.
Explore the Emerald Pool in Krabi’s Rainforest
Next, the journey continues into the tropical lowland rainforest of Khaopra – Bangkhram, an ecological wonder and home to rare wildlife. Bird enthusiasts may be lucky enough to spot unique species such as Gurney’s Pitta, Rufous-collared Kingfisher, and the Black Hornbill. This jungle is rich in biodiversity and offers visitors a glimpse of Thailand’s untouched nature.
A short, scenic walk through mangrove and peat swamp forest leads you to the Emerald Pool (Sa Morakot) – one of the highlights of Krabi. The pool is famous for its crystal-clear green waters, perfect for swimming, cooling off, and capturing stunning photos. Surrounded by thick jungle, the Emerald Pool is a refreshing natural spring and one of the top-rated things to do in Krabi.
Relax at Krabi’s Natural Hot Springs
The final stop on this eco-adventure is the Krabi Hot Springs. Unlike many tours that visit the crowded public pools, Phuket Travel Store takes you to a more exclusive private hot spring spa for a peaceful and relaxing experience. These volcanic springs reach up to 42 degrees Celsius and are rich in natural minerals believed to improve circulation, detoxify the skin, and soothe muscles.
The hot springs are the perfect way to end your day, leaving you rejuvenated and refreshed after exploring temples and jungle trails. This unique experience combines nature’s healing powers with tranquility, far away from the tourist crowds.
