My visit to the Khao Phra Bang Khram Nature Reserve was one of the biggest highlights of my time in Thailand. The emerald pool was absolutely brilliant, we swam in it as well. The tiger cave was another special visit, and our guide even took us to the top of the cliff for brilliant views of the island. We had an excellent time with the rainforest tour in Krabi. The focus of the tour itinerary was the emerald pool and the tiger cave, but we did make several other stops on the way for some pictures.
