Sankhamphang Hot Springs

The Tourism Authority of Thailand and Sankampaeng Cooperative Village collaborated in making improvement to the surroundings of Sankampaeng Hot Springs so that it could become a popular recreation area very near to Chiang Mai City. The spring is 34 kilometres from Chiang Mai by either the old Sankampaeng road or the newer bypass.
Sankampaeng Hot Springs is an ideal destination for those interested in health and well-being. A natural spring emitting water with high sulphur content, the spring is said to cure ailments and rejuvenate the body. The water has a temperature in excess of 100 degrees centigrade and the area is so active that there is ongoing research into how to tap the springs as a potential energy resource.

Sankampaeng Hot Springs is open daily and the admission fee for children is 15 baht and adult for only 30 baht.

Along the way to the hot springs, you will see the Mineral Watercourse that many people sit and soak their feet. This water temperature is about 45 degrees centigrade. I’d done that too. It’s feel very relax.

Other than The Mineral Watercourse, you can enjoy at the Mineral Swimming Pool or Mineral Bath. Thai Massage is available here too.

If you would like to boil eggs. You can buy fresh eggs at the shop near by the hot springs and try to boil them.
