Kamphaeng Hot Spring
San
Kamphaeng Hot Spring is located just 23 km from San Kamphaeng
district and about 36 km from Chiang Mai City. It is situated
amid natural surroundings of shady trees and fertile hills.
The drive to the small weaving village of San Kamphaeng passes
by a large number of handicraft shops and the famous umbrella
village of Bo Sang. Some 3km beyond the village is the pleasant
forty-acre park containing the hot springs.
The
park has been well landscaped and in the cool season the flowers
are very lovely making it a good place for picnics. There
you can find a camping area, a swimming pool, restaurant dining
facilities and segregated mineral water bathing room huts
are also available.
The
San Kamphaeng Hot Spring is the ideal destination for health
and physical well being. The water has high sulphur content
and possesses curative and restorative properties. This is
a very active geological area. The water, at a temperature
of a hundred degrees centigrade, comes from a deep source.
Attempts have been made to harness this energy and there is
a research station nearby with information on display.
Accommodation
can be booked by contacting the San Kamphaeng Hot Spring Co-operative
