    I was disappointed with this place, mainly because it calls itself a "Wildlife Sanctuary," yet we saw no animals here apart from one small lizard. There was one path that was closed down as of 2019-12-27, and wasn't scheduled to re-open until January. I presume this leads to where birds are, since we saw zero birds despite what photos on the site's literature showed. The trees and water looked nice, but there were too many people walking along the narrow paths to really appreciate the nature. Many were playing in the water, and while it looked clear, it also appeared to be shallow and saturated with people. To it's credit, this place was fairly clean, has nice trees (like elsewhere in this area), and the staff check people's belongs to ensure it doesn't get polluted with rubbish. But this place is too expensive for what it is, and the fact that it wasn't upfront about the path to the birds being closed really doesn't help matters.

    The hot stream is very nice. A good 800 metre track from the entrance. Nice tranquil atmosphere.

    Honestly, not worth the visit in my opinion. The blue pool looks cool but the rest of the park is mediocre. The walk to the blue pool takes about 30 minutes each way and it's a long walk so bring good walking shoes. The landscape looks cool. Way too many tourists and it felt very congested. The blue pool cannot be entered by anyone, but the emerald pool is accessable by visitors. We didn't even enter the emerald pool due to it being way too overcrowded. I would skip this attraction.

    Located in lush greenary, water is clean and emerald pool not deep so can get in even if you don't know swimming. Walk towards pool Is scenic and green. Need to walk for atleast 1 km to reach the pool. They should provide option to take vehicle as not every one can walk that far.

    400 Bath per person is way to much in my opinion. It's cool to see the mother nature in action when the water is building little steps over decades. After visiting the blue hole we have been for a couple of minutes in the pools which is the hole day crowded. Not recommended. There are a couple of blue holes around for free ☝🏼

    I waited 11 years until I could return to one of my favorite nature preserves in Thailand. It houses the amazing Emerald and Blue Pool and is the home of many rare birds such as the Gurney’s Pitta. I didn’t see any this trip but the Blue Pool and Shrine of the Hermit was spectacular and the Emerald Pool was as exhilarating as I remembered. It’s a lot more crowed than I remember but I’m happy everyone gets to experience nature at its finest with us.

    It's the entry to the beautiful emerald pool. Parking is available with a few shops and restaurant around, but be aware that you will pay ten times more than a national Thai.... 200 thb for foreigners while it's just 20 thb for nationals.

    It a nice place not very dense but looks very good. Inside this there is a water pool quiet big. Water is crystal clear. Good location for photography. Must visit.

    It's a beautiful natural area, but it seems like it's being turned into a man-made selfie garden more and more. They closed off an area for visitors because of its fragile ecosystem. And now they put a sign and even vegetation that doesn't grow there naturally in that same area. They also planned vegetation along the walkway.

    It's a nice place to visit for a good stroll in nature. It has well kept pathways. I don't like the idea of swimming in the pools. In my opinion it ruins the natural habitat. You cannot take food inside. The security will check bags and make you leave it there to be collected later. I'm sure there is a good reason behind.

    A really nice place to come with friend and just relax . Come late in the day when there is less people.

  • 4/5 ramadevi j. 1 year ago on Google
    A good natural pool to swim and relax. The blue color is pleasing and calming. The entry fee for foreigners is 200 TBH. Blue pool is open only during specific hours.

  • 5/5 Zaliha A. 1 year ago on Google
    Worth walking the 1km walkway to arrive at emerald pool.And another few metres to see the Blue pool. Tickets for foreigners were expensive.

  • 5/5 Ibrahim Ibna Md. L. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice and beautiful place Water is clean and see bottom of the water Usually 3 to4 hrs spend on site with 800 meters walking 🚶‍♂️to reach destinations Another 600 meters walking will take you to see Blue pools. The Emerald Pool opens its doors for visitors from 8:00 and close at 17:00. The Blue Pool opens a bit later, so the park will give open the access from 10:00 clock. The entrance fee is 200 baht per adult and 100 baht per child.

  • 4/5 Sandie C. 1 year ago on Google
    A quiet and serene place to enjoy nature. However, the area open for visitors are not very big. Could cover the place in 30 minutes. Recommended to soak up to 20 minutes in the pool. The pool water is warm, almost hot, while the stream is just above body temperature.

    I had so much fun here. Its so clean to enjoy the nature. Need to walk for 1km to the Emerald Pool. I do not suggest to bring elderly people because they need to walk much. You guys can walk another 600m to the Blue Pool. It's so nice there but it not allowed to swim there. The toilet is also clean so don't worry where to change.

  • 3/5 Younes P. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here for the emerald pool, an extremely beautiful pool and river by the side, around 1.7m deep. Entrance fee + parking fee. Pros: -Nice natural emerald pool to swim in (around 1.7 meters). -Beautiful shallow river by the side of the pool take pictures in. Cons: -Any Non-Thai must pay 200 baht no matter what, which is x10 of what Thai people pay. Not every Non-Thai is a tourist with pockets full of dollars, some of us work and pay taxes here just like the rest of Thai people. -800 meter walk up with no transportation provided, there is a 1,000-meter one that seem to be a beautiful path. -It's usually quite crowded. Despite all the cons, it's still worth the visit.

    if you are planning to come here play water ,just canceled it.

  • 5/5 Dominic W. 4 years ago on Google
    Stunning here. Well worth the drive there. Get there early though, otherwise you'll end up dealing with a lot of tourists. The nature is second to none. At the back end of 2019 the bird observatory wasn't working and during the "winter" months some parts are not accessible.
