Emerald Pool (Sa Morakot) is one of Krabi's most renowned natural attractions, located in the Khao Pra-Bang Khram Wildlife Sanctuary. Its main feature is a striking green-hued natural spring formed by underground hot water rising and collecting into a forest pool.

To reach the pool, visitors walk along a scenic forest trail of approximately 800 meters to 1.4 kilometers through lush, tropical rainforest. The path is shaded and peaceful, offering sightings of rare plants and the unique sounds of native bird species along the way.

The pool’s water shifts in color depending on the sunlight and is known for its pristine, emerald-like glow. Visitors can enjoy a refreshing dip in the cool, clean water and relax along the surrounding rocks and shaded spots, making it a great place for photography and quiet nature time.

Nearby, you’ll find the “Blue Pool” — the source spring of the Emerald Pool. Although swimming is not allowed there, it’s a must-visit spot for those interested in natural beauty and ecosystem observation.

This destination is ideal for nature lovers, photographers, families, couples, and travelers seeking a tranquil outdoor experience.
