KhongThomNuea Hot Stream Waterfall Krabi
Think of it as a natural jacuzzi in the forest. Hot mineral water runs down through a series of shallow rock pools, each a slightly different temperature, and you pick the one that suits you and sit in it. Fifteen or twenty minutes is about right before the heat starts winning. It's most rewarding on a cooler or windy day, when the contrast between the water and the air is at its sharpest, and after rain the whole place feels better still.
Most people arrive straight from the Emerald Pool, roughly 20 minutes away by car, and the two together make a comfortable half-day inland. The walk in from the entrance is around 500 metres through decent forest and worth doing on foot, though there's a shuttle if legs are tired. Bring footwear with grip. Wet rock is wet rock.

Hot Spring Pool – Deeply Relaxing.. We visited the Hot Spring Pool after Emerald Pool, and it took us about 20 minutes by car to reach there. It makes for a perfect next stop and feels extremely relaxing after all the walking. Tickets & Entry: Entry fee: 200 THB per person You can also buy a shuttle ticket for 20 THB, which takes you directly to the hot spring pool The walk to the pool is around 500 meters and is very beautiful, surrounded by nature Since it was afternoon time and we were with kids, we chose the shuttle, but if you have the energy, the walk is definitely worth it. Facilities & Experience: Changing rooms are available, so make sure to carry your swimsuit The water temperature ranges between 35°C to 40°C, so it is quite hot My 4-year-old daughter was initially hesitant and found the water too hot, but after some time, she started enjoying it Not fully sure how suitable it is for very young kids or toddlers, so parents should decide based on comfort There are multiple hot spring pools, almost like natural jacuzzis, and the water is constantly flowing, which keeps it clean. The entire area is surrounded by big green trees, making the experience calm and refreshing. You can comfortably spend about an hour here. After that, I personally felt my body temperature starting to rise, though this can vary from person to person. Food & Amenities: There is a large food court and small shops near the entrance Food is good, and you’ll also find vegetarian options Try the tacos — they were really yummy! Tips: Carry water Wear light, airy clothes Bring a cap and sunglasses, especially in the afternoon Overall, the Hot Spring Pool is a must-visit for adults and incredibly relaxing. A perfect way to unwind and end the day feeling refreshed and calm. ⭐ Highly recommended for relaxation lovers!
The Hot Springs in Krabi are an amazing spot to relax. It is an especially good place to visit during windy or cooler weather, where you can really appreciate soaking in the warm baths. It feels just like a natural jacuzzi in the middle of the jungle!

Tips for Visiting Activities & Tours
Vet Elephant Sanctuaries
Only visit sanctuaries that prohibit riding, use no chains or bullhooks, and let elephants roam freely. Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai set the standard. If a place offers painting shows or circus tricks, walk away.
Book Popular Activities Online
Booking platforms like GetYourGuide give you instant confirmation and, on many activities, free cancellation — and you can read recent reviews before committing. Compare with local agencies for multi-day trips where negotiation might save more.
Do Outdoor Activities in the Morning
Heat and humidity peak from noon to 3 PM. Schedule jungle treks, cycling tours, and outdoor cooking classes for early morning. Water activities are more flexible since you're in and out of the sea.
