# Secrets of Krabi: hot springs, jungle lakes and the Tiger Cave temple

Duration: One day, 05:00–17:40 · Group: Up to 40 people · Adult: 2,500 THB · Child (4–9): 2,300 THB

Emerald and Blue lakes, a hot waterfall, 1,260 steps to a mountaintop temple and a singing cave

The inland counterweight to the boat days. Everything here is green and wet rather than blue and salty: old rainforest at Bang Khram, a lake of warm mineral water you can swim in, a second lake that glows turquoise and is only for looking at, a waterfall that runs hot straight out of the jungle. The centrepiece is the Tiger Cave temple, where 1,260 steps climb to a view over the whole plain — and where nobody makes you climb if you would rather walk the monastery below.

## FAQ

### How hard are the 1,260 steps?

They are steep and it is hot, and most people take around an hour up. It is entirely optional: the monastery, the caves and the shade at the bottom are worth the stop on their own.

### Can you swim in both lakes?

Swimming is at the Emerald lake and the hot springs. The Blue lake is a viewing and photo stop only.

### Is this a good alternative when the sea is rough?

Yes. Nothing in this day depends on boats, so it runs on days when the island trips are cancelled.

Yes, the tour includes an English-speaking guide.
