Emerald Pool: A Natural Oasis in Krabi

Getting There

• Car Rental

  If you are renting a car in Krabi, head towards Route 4 (Phetkasem Road) from your location. Follow the signs for Khlong Thom and continue for approximately 30 kilometers. As you approach Khlong Thom Nuea, look for signs directing you to the Emerald Pool (also known as 'Sra Morakot'). There is a parking lot available at the entrance to the pool area, and a small parking fee of around 20 THB may apply.

• Public Bus

  Take a public bus from Krabi Town to Khlong Thom. Buses depart regularly from the Krabi Bus Terminal and the fare is generally around 50 THB. Inform the driver that you are going to the Emerald Pool. The bus will drop you off at a junction near Khlong Thom Nuea. From there, you will need to hire a local taxi or tuk-tuk to cover the remaining 15-minute ride to the Emerald Pool entrance, which will cost approximately 200-300 THB.

• Taxi

  If you prefer a more direct route, you can also hire a taxi from Krabi Town or Ao Nang. The taxi ride will take around 45 minutes and should cost between 600 and 800 THB one way. Make sure to negotiate the fare before starting your journey. You can ask the driver to wait for you while you visit the pool, or arrange a pickup time.

• Tuk-Tuk

  For a local experience, you can take a tuk-tuk from Krabi Town directly to the Emerald Pool. The fare is generally around 300-400 THB each way, and the journey takes about 45 minutes. Similar to taxis, ensure to agree on the fare beforehand.
