Emerald Pool

I had visited Emerald pool with my wife & 1 yr old daughter in last week of Feb 26. We had rented a car (Suzuki Ciaz from Mr Kord) from Krabi @ 1000 baht per day. We departed from Krabi at 0800hrs after breakfast & reached Emerald pool in approx 50 mins. Overall the route is very scenic & its a good drive altogether.

There was no crowd when we reached the parking. There is parking fee of 40 baht for car.
Moving ahead there are plenty of shops where we can purchase floaters for kids & a amazing shopping complex with rates somewhat cheaper than Phuket & Krabi. Also, we had a refreshing Coconut water to hydrate ourselves. There plenty of shops offering fresh fruit juice/shakes also.

Moving ahead we purchased the entry ticket at 400 baht per person. Please dont carry any outside food like Lays, pringles etc. They carry out bag checking and then you have to keep the stuff at the gate only.

Baby food is allowed !

There are 2 routes; one of 800m through the jungle which is two way road for cars. Although vehicles are not allowed inside the premises. The other route is of 1000m which goes deep through the nature. We went through 1000m & came back via 800m route. BOTH THE ROUTES ARE STROLLER FRIENDLY.

Initially we went to the Blue Pool which is 600m from the Emerald pool. The last 200 metres of this route is not stroller friendly as its not paved. The blue pool opens at 1030hrs & swimming is not permitted in that pool. Its a photogenic place. Then we came back to relax at Emerald pool. It was quite relaxing experience with fishes swimming alongside you.

Wonderful experience

It's a national park. Entry ticket is 400bhat pp. There are two ways labelled as diet road and nature trail to reach the emerald pool from entrance of park. We took nature trail which surrounded by evergreen forest with many water bodies on the way.
On way first comes clear pool, the blue pool in which public bath is allowed. Last is emerald pool .
There are toilets.

This is a very cool, but at times difficult and dangerous activity to do. Perfect for the adventurous at heart. Definitely need shoes and a strong Will to get to the Emerald lagoon, lots of vertical climbs using knotted ropes down cliff faces, as well as back up again. Enjoy.

A very special experience!
We visited the Emerald Pool and Blue Pool. Upon arrival you have to pay the entrance fee to the national park, then make your way through the jungle paths leading to the Emerald Pool and Blue Pool.

Luckily we chose a day that wasn’t too crowded, we arrived around 1 pm and most of the crowds had been gone already. There is a small cafe at the Emerald Pool, which you can also swim in. Showers and toilets are available nearby.

The Blue Pool is stunning, deep blue water (no, it’s not a filter in those pictures!) and right in the middle of the jungle. Be aware that for theue Pool you must take a short walk right through the jungle.

Visiting the Emerald Pool in Krabi was an exceptionally memorable experience that combined natural beauty with a profound sense of tranquility. Nestled deep within a lush rainforest, the journey to the pool itself was as captivating as the destination, with wooden walkways winding through dense vegetation and the sounds of wildlife accompanying every step.

What struck me most was the extraordinary clarity and color of the water. The pool shimmered in varying shades of turquoise and emerald, creating an almost surreal atmosphere that felt untouched by modern life. Swimming in the warm, mineral-rich water was both refreshing and therapeutic, offering a rare moment of complete relaxation and connection with nature.

Beyond its visual appeal, the Emerald Pool left a lasting impression due to its serene environment and well-preserved ecosystem. The experience was not merely about sightseeing; it was an immersion into a peaceful natural sanctuary that encouraged mindfulness and appreciation for Thailand’s remarkable biodiversity.
