Krabi renovates emerald pool to welcome tourists

 

 

KRABI(NNT) - Krabi has been preparing to open the Emerald Pool for tourists after the government launched a measure to ease Covid-19 restrictions. The number of visitors may be limited, to prevent a Covid-19 outbreak.

 

The Emerald Pool, a beautiful natural pool with limpid green emerald water, is located at Khao Pra-Bang Khram Wildlife Sanctuary; it is now ready to welcome tourists again after its closure due to the Covid-19 threat.

 

Krabi Governor Pol Lt Col ML Kitibodi Prawit and heads of relevant government agencies visited and provided moral support to officials of Khao Pra-Bang Khram Wildlife Sanctuary, Nuea Khlong district, Krabi province, as they prepare to welcome tourists after the government allowed people to travel between provinces.

 

In the first phase, only Thai tourists will be allowed to visit the site, while foreign tourists will be allowed later. The Governor of Krabi followed up on the progress of development, improvements and preparation in terms of convenience, safety, and access to tourist destinations by visitors or tourist groups, along with management plans for tourist destinations including the emerald pool and the hot waterfall, which are popular attractions.

 

In addition to the screening measures of the Ministry of Public Health, it may be necessary to determine the number of visitors, scope of service and management of people’s trading areas.

Slippery when wet. Those nicely placed cut stones around the rim are new since I visited in 2018. Before those platform stones, one had to gingerly slid their way around the natural curved rim. It was quite treacherous. EMS came and retrieved a fallen victim. Those are a nice addition in order for visitors to be able to enjoy this nice natural pool.

So even though I live here, and I am a foreigner, am I not considered a Thai tourist, or is it only Thais that are tourists, so confusing.

3 years ago, my wife and I as well as 3 Thai friends visiting us on a holiday from Australia visited the emerald pol in Krabi.

 

The thai price was 20 Baht and foreigner price an eye watering 300 Baht.

 

Given my wife and I live in Thailand and our Thai friends are citizens of, and live in Australia, we were miffed at being charged 300 and they only 20.

 

Will never visit the place again.

No Thai passport & you are a foreigner. Get used to it. It is not going to change
