Travel 2013: Krabi - Day 1 [Part two]

After the Kayakking, our tour guide brought us to the thermal spring.
It was a really refreshing stop and we totally forgot to snap photos.Next one, we went to the famous Emerald Pool in Krabi, hidden deep inside its National Park.
Had to walk quite a bit on a muddy path to reach it.

The colour is natural due to the high density of Algae there that releases the colour, turning all the nearby ponds into the colour.Krabi_2013-005The Blue Pool, with living algae inside.
It's not opened up for anyone to swim though.

The main highlight is the 1,237 steps climb up to the top of the mountain.
Really steep, 90 degrees climb!
Krabi_2013-008This was the beginning of the 1,237 steps to the TOP.
It wasn't easy at all.

Tips:
I wouldn't suggest this to people who are not fit and have medical conditions. 
The hill is really high and you might just run off oxygen before you even reach the top.
It's hard to climb up, and even harder to get down as it's 90 Degrees Climb!

Tiger Cave Temple was a beautiful place.
It's a definitely must-visit place for people who are at least healthy and fit enough to get up.

Tips:
Climb in the morning when it's bright. We had some troubles to descend the mountain as it already dark.
There were no lights along the ways and monkeys started roaming around.

Stay tuned for Krabi Day Two!
