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.

Customer Testimonials
Excellent company for airport transfers & excursions
We booked x2 transfers and the hong by starlight tour a few months before our holiday. Communication was quick and informative, and when we arrived to Thailand, kept regulaly informed by whats app. Transfers were alll on time, with clean and very good sized transport. However the highlight of our whole holiday was the John Gray Sea Canoes trip. A full day out with absolutely stunning scenery, we were allocated a private guide per x2 passengers who were so friendly and informative, taking photos and pointing out wildlife when out on the canoes. The food onboard was the best we have ever had on a boat trip, the coconut milk pudding with rainbow tapioca balls was deemed the best dessert ever by the kids! Making the kratong and floating it at sunset was a beautiful event and the lit up bioluminence after dark in the caves was again a memory we will all trwasuee forever. If you're going to book one trip, make it the John Gray Canoes - you wont regret it!
Excellente journée!
Excellente journée en bateau pour visites les 4 îles, la guide était super sympathique et accueillante. La journée était rythmée mais lorgique avec 4 îles à visiter! Et fin vers 14h30 donc c’est plutôt agréable pour rentrer tranquillement à l’hôtel pas trop tard ! Belle découverte, je recommande!
Ayutthaya
We would like to thank the Phuket Travel Store, especially Sunee for organizing some of our tours in Thailand. The team was really professional and we always had quick replies to our queries. We visited the Palais Royal de Bang Pa-In, in Ayutthaya the Wat Maha That and had a boat tour back to Bangkok with lunch. Our guide was kind and knowledgeable, we had a great day. Everything went well apart from the French guide not being available resulting in last minute changes and the boat/van not being completely wheelchair adapted. With help it was possible. I suggested either a car with a big booth for manual wheelchair users or a van with wheelchair ramp. Thank you for improving accessibility.
Wir wollten zu Zweit relativ kurzfristig einen Ausflug von Khao Lak zu den Similan Islands buchen. Dies privat. Es wurden alle Hebel in Bewegung gesetzt, dass wir 3 Tage später diesen wunderbaren Ausflug machen konnten. Dies war unter den gegebenen Umständen nicht einfach, da Peak Season war und es fast keine Boote mehr hatte, welche gebucht werden konnten. Die Kommunikation mit der Agentin Apple war perfekt. Wir waren immer auf dem neusten Stand. Anpassungen, welche wir noch vorgenommen haben, wurden immer sofort gemacht. Der Ausflug selbst war extrem gut organisiert. Alles hat von A-Z bestens funktioniert. Für mich ist Phuket Travel Store eine klare Empfehlung wert.
