Insider tip — Nestled in the mountains of western Chiang Mai Province, Thachan Hot Springs flow through a forested ravine where the sulfurous water has carved terraced mineral deposits along the stream bed. The remote approach along winding mountain roads through ethnic minority villages adds considerable character to the visit. Locals cook eggs directly in the hottest vents, a tradition visitors are welcome to join.
