San Kamphaeng Hot Springs - "a couple of nice geysers !!"
A visit to San Kamphaeng Hot Springs, Chiang Mai, Thailandis a worthwhile excursion if you incorporate it along with a visit to Bor Sang Umbrella Village as they are both situated within 35kms to the east of Chiang Mai.
The springs are located within the most stunning scenic surroundings of spectacular hillsides and large and shady trees,
in a splendid 40 acre lush green park which has been beautifully landscaped.
The park is open daily from 8:00am until 4:30pm, there are also a selection of small restaurants & shops available at the park.
The Hot Springs are the perfect destination for people who enjoy health and physical wellbeing activities.
The water comes from a source deep beneath the ground and is near 100 degrees centigrade as it surfaces, there are streams that carry the hot water around the park,
which make perfect places to either dip your feet into, or immerse yourself completely !.
The high sulphur content of the water is known to assist in the cure of many diseases and also helps improves blood circulation, so therefore the hot springs are the perfect destination for people who enjoy health and physical wellbeing activities.
One of the big draws beside the healing powers of the water is the chance to "boil your own eggs", in a special tank that has the released hot water flowing through it.
You can buy the fresh eggs ready for cooking at the entrance to the park along with a bamboo basket to lower them into the water in, believe it or not they cook beautifully, and are delicious.
Alongside the park there is also Roong Arun Hot Springs Resort which has mineral baths & massage rooms available at a small additional cost.
