San Kamphaeng Hot Springs Chiang Mai: Relax with a Thermal Soak

Sankamphaeng Hot Springs, located approximately 30 kilometres southeast of Chiang Mai, is a beautiful and serene retreat known for its natural mineral-rich hot springs. The hot springs emanate from sulfur-laden water that seeps through the earth's crust, offering therapeutic and soothing qualities. The sulfur-infused water can reach temperatures of up to 105°C (221°F), which makes it perfect for a rejuvenating soak.

• Relaxing soak: Enjoy the healing benefits of the hot springs by soaking in one of the many private or public mineral pools available at Sankamphaeng.
• Mineral baths: Apart from soaking in pools, pamper yourself with a luxurious mineral bath in private huts for an ultimate relaxation experience.
• Egg boiling activity: Take part in a fun and unique egg boiling activity in mineral-rich water. Purchase a basket of fresh eggs and cook them directly in designated boiling spring geyser areas.
• Roong-Arun Hot Spring Resort: For an overnight stay or spa services, check out Roong-Arun Resort, located within walking distance from San Kamphaeng Hot Springs.
