About this activity
Explore Thung Theo Forest Natural Park, one of Thailand's last pristine lowland rainforests believed to be older and more biodiverse than the Amazon. This 7-hour guided day trip combines thermal hot springs, jungle trekking, the stunning Emerald Pool, and a visit to the clifftop Tiger Cave Temple for an immersive natural and cultural experience.
The Wonders of Thailand's Last Lowland Rainforest tour takes you deep into Khao Sok National Park, one of Thailand’s most diverse and unspoiled ecosystems. This adventure offers a unique opportunity to explore the lush greenery, towering limestone cliffs, and rich wildlife that thrive in this ancient rainforest.
After being collected from your Krabi resort/hotel, the 9.00am departure from central Krabi should have you arriving at Thung Theo Forest Natural Park by about 10.30am. This area is older and more diverse than the Amazon Rainforest and is the last remaining lowland rainforest in Thailand. Stop at highlights The Emerald Pool and the Hot Springs Waterfall where you will enjoy the chance to get into the warm water that can only be described as being a gift of nature.
Take lunch in an open-air restaurant and, before returning back to Krabi, climb over 1000 steps to the magnificent and stunning Tiger Temple Cave.
