Wildlife enthusiasts will have a great time at Thung Teao Forest Nature Park. Home to the Crystal Lagoon, also known as Emerald Pool, this warm water spring remains ever-popular for swimming against cascading waterfalls. A challenging, but rewarding climb of 1,237 steps will take you to the Footprints of Buddha in the Tiger Cave Temple.

Witness the lives of monks who used to live and meditate inside these caves. You will see captivating stone tools, pottery relics and bizarre pictures of cadavers — which symbolise the Buddhist philosophy that all physical forms are transitory.
