Start where you stay
Staying in Krabi or Koh Lanta?
Both pools are inland in Khlong Thom. Krabi is closer, while a Koh Lanta trip means a longer journey to the mainland. Start with where you're staying.
Two pools, two different experiences
Fancy a swim?
How about a soak?
Walk through the forest to Emerald Pool and get in for a swim. A short drive away, the Hot Spring Waterfall has warm water flowing through stone pools. Blue Pool is different again: lovely to look at, but swimming isn't allowed.Emerald PoolForest walk · swimming · slippery edges

Before you choose a tour
Destination information checked 14 August 2026. Check your tour for current arrangements.Ask us a questionIs Emerald Pool worth visiting?+
Yes, if you'd enjoy a forest walk and a swim away from the beach. Go early if you can, as the pool gets busier when tour groups arrive.
Can visitors swim in Emerald Pool?+
Yes, in the main Emerald Pool swimming area. Blue Pool is for looking and taking photos, not swimming.
Are Krabi Hot Springs at the same entrance?+
No. The Hot Springs have their own entrance and admission fee. They're a short drive from Emerald Pool, which is why tours usually visit both.
Is a private tour worth the extra cost?+
It can be, especially if you're travelling with family or friends and want your own minivan. Add everyone's entrance fees and any lunch or guide extras before comparing the total.
