San Kamphaeng Hot Springs is an ideal destination for those interested in health and well-being. A natural spring emitting water with high sulfur 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. A trip to the springs is often combined with a trip to San Kamphaeng Handicraft Village and Borsang Umbrella and Thai Handicraft Village.

Details: The springs are open daily and there is no admission fee. For those interested in a lengthier look around, it is possible to book accommodation through the San Kamphaeng Hot Spring Co-operative Village
