The pool is a genuine natural swimming hole — cold, clear and surrounded by rainforest. The temple's climb is brutal and the panorama is the best in Krabi.
How to visit it well
- Go at 7am; the pool is empty and the light is green.
- Wear shoes for the temple climb — the steps are steep and hot.
- Combine both in one morning; they are 20 minutes apart.
