Sa Kaeo

An amazingly beautiful blue pool, that's much less famous than the emerald & blue pools, but just as worth it (and maybe even better)! Entrance fee to the nature reserve is 100 baht per person, and it includes the visit in the blue pool & the cave behind it (just about 200 meters distance). What makes this pool much better than the emerald pool in my opinion is that you can actually enter it (in the emerald pool you can't enter, just watch it from the outside). The water were clean and very refreshing. Another advantage is than since it's less commonly known, there are much less people visiting it, meaning you can enjoy the privacy of being alone, and along with the quiet is an absolutely heavenly experience. Before dipping into the pool, we visited the cave behind it which is very beautiful, with some Thai holy symbols & small statues. To conclude, if you're debating regarding which pool to visit during your stay in Krabi area, I think this beautiful pool wins the emerald pool any day.

A local pool. So much more inviting than touristic ones. Very small and untraveled by many. Water are cold. The pool is a part of deep caves filled with water seeping from mountain/cliffs around. The color is due to minerals and is hypnotizing. A few steps away there is a cave, worth the tour. 10 min walk and the cave is short.

If you are looking for a comfortable swimming place, I would recommend the Emerald Pools more. This pool is also nice as it is pure nature but it is quite small. The entrance fee of 100 Baht per person for foreigners is not cheap. It is just 20 Baht per person for Thai people. You can come by car or motorbike and then just park right at the small lake.
