Blue Pool

Blue Pool, within Khao Phra Bang Khram Nature Reserve near Krabi, is a vivid turquoise spring set in lowland rainforest. Reached via a 1.4–2 km boardwalk through shaded jungle, it’s best known for its striking color from mineral-rich water and light refraction. Swimming is not allowed at Blue Pool, but nearby Emerald Pool offers a designated bathing area. Visit in the morning for clearer water and fewer crowds; the site may close temporarily during rainy season for safety. Ideal for nature lovers, photographers, and travelers seeking a short, scenic hike rather than a full-day excursion.
