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.

Highlights

  • ✓Natural thermal spring pools with mineral-rich water, perfect for soaking tired muscles
  • ✓Easy-paced guided jungle walk through biodiverse Thung Theo rainforest rich in wildlife
  • ✓Emerald Pool—a striking emerald-coloured natural lagoon with crystal-clear warm water
  • ✓Picnic lunch featuring Thai classics: fried rice, Tom Yam soup, stir-fried vegetables, and fresh fruit
  • ✓Wat Tum Seua (Tiger Cave Temple) with 1,237 steps offering panoramic views from the summit

Insider tips

  • ★Wear water shoes or sandals at the thermal pools and Emerald Pool for comfort and safety on slippery rocks
  • ★Start the jungle walk early (around 9:30am–10am) to spot more bird and wildlife activity before midday heat
  • ★The Tiger Cave Temple climb is steep; pace yourself and take breaks at sheltered spots to avoid heat exhaustion
  • ★Bring a waterproof bag for your phone and valuables—you'll want photos at the Emerald Pool but water exposure is likely

Good to know

  • •Hotel pickup typically occurs 8:00–8:45am; confirm your accommodation location with the operator
  • •The jungle walk is described as easy but involves natural terrain; basic fitness recommended for the temple steps
  • •Swimwear essential for thermal pools and Emerald Pool; towel not always provided
