Booked: Krabi Rainforest Discovery Tour with Tiger Cave Temple

Krabi is known for its exotic caves and temples, and when I got a chance to visit the tiger cave temple and rainforest here, I couldn’t help but book it for myself. The bath in the natural hot springs was definitely one of my most favourite activities.

Booked: Emerald Pool Krabi Tour with Tiger Cave Temple

There is nothing better an experience in Krabi than exploring its offbeat forests, and on one of these trips by Thrillophilia, I also enjoyed visiting the emerald pool and hot springs. The swimming session in the hot springs was very relaxing too.

Booked: Krabi Rainforest Discovery Tour with Tiger Cave Temple

If you’re in Krabi, make sure you pay a visit to the Krabi rainforests. We were a little confused by the route so we took the tour, which turned out to be quite helpful. The rainforest is absolutely breathtaking. We stopped for a bit at the emerald pool, and also took a dip at the natural hot spring here. The Krabi rainforest tour was even better than I had expected it to be, especially for the discounted price that it was quoted at. It took us through the main highlights of the package, including the fantastic Emerald Pool.
