What travellers say about Emerald Pool & Blue Pool

A “must-see” site in the Khao Phra Bang Kharam Nature Reserve is the brightly coloured ‘Blue Pool’, located some 600m further upstream from the Emerald Pool. If time permits, the additional distance is worth it – but beware, though the water looks magical and inviting, it is hot and surrounded by quicksand, so no bathing is allowed.
This is an astonishly-hued and large natural crystel pool also known as emerald pool that is filled with pure spring water – although at ambient temperature. Swimming is possible here.
The pool is reached via a network of trails through the Khao Nor Chu Chi forest (the longest of which is 1.2km – no climbing required), which offer a glimpse into a unique aquatic ecosystem, fed by the area’s abundant spring water. You’ll pass by a series of clear mini-pools, waterfalls and streams, plus hundreds of species of tropical trees and plants.
