About Krabi and Krabi province
Krabi province on Thailand's Andaman coast is famous for limestone cliffs, clear water, and easy access to islands such as Phi Phi, Hong Island, and local four-island loops. Krabi province sits within this network of beaches, piers, and national park zones, making it practical for both short holidays and week-long stays. Infrastructure has improved steadily — ATMs, mini-marts, clinics, and tour counters are common — yet the region still feels more relaxed than busier beach hubs.
Check In Krabi publishes guides, hotel lists, restaurant picks, and public place notes to help visitors compare options before they book. Always cross-check ferry times, park fees, and national holiday crowds because conditions change by season. Respect marine parks: avoid single-use plastic on boats, do not stand on coral, and follow staff instructions during snorkeling stops.

There are also separate ponds where you can feed the fish, making it a peaceful and enjoyable experience for nature lovers. All of this can be enjoyed with just a 100 Baht entry ticket, which makes it a great value for money.
Whether you're looking for a bit of adventure, some quiet time with nature, or just something different to do . this place offers a memorable experience worth every moment.
Beautiful place
Cheep enter fee of 100 baht or something like this.
Less known to tourists than the Emerald pool but beauty as much.
Interesting that it is 100m deep and some might come to dive in it. We just had fun in the water.
There is a short trail to a cave with it
Very accessible with a simple motorcycle

An amazingly beautiful blue pool, that's much less famous than the emerald & blue pools, but just as worth it (and maybe even better)!
Entrance fee to the nature reserve is 100 baht per person, and it includes the visit in the blue pool & the cave behind it (just about 200 meters distance).
What makes this pool much better than the emerald pool in my opinion is that you can actually enter it (in the emerald pool you can't enter, just watch it from the outside). The water were clean and very refreshing.
Another advantage is than since it's less commonly known, there are much less people visiting it, meaning you can enjoy the privacy of being alone, and along with the quiet is an absolutely heavenly experience.
Before dipping into the pool, we visited the cave behind it which is very beautiful, with some Thai holy symbols & small statues.
To conclude, if you're debating regarding which pool to visit during your stay in Krabi area, I think this beautiful pool wins the emerald pool any day.
If you are looking for a comfortable swimming place, I would recommend the Emerald Pools more. This pool is also nice as it is pure nature but it is quite small. The entrance fee of 100 Baht per person for foreigners is not cheap. It is just 20 Baht per person for Thai people. You can come by car or motorbike and then just park right at the small lake.
14/09/2025 15:37A local pool. So much more inviting than touristic ones. Very small and untraveled by many. Water are cold. The pool is a part of deep caves filled with water seeping from mountain/cliffs around. The color is due to minerals and is hypnotizing.
A few steps away there is a cave, worth the tour. 10 min walk and the cave is short.
