Blue Pool Krabi Thailand

This guide to the Blue Pool near Krabi opens with a padlocked gate that reopens only on November first each year, the other six months given over to a rare, ground-nesting bird called Gurney's pitta. You'll hear how the entrance fee, thirty to four hundred baht depending on nationality, funds the sanctuary protecting it, and what a geothermal spring beneath the surface is doing to turn the water that sapphire color. Listen for what the rope strung across the water's edge is guarding against.
