San Kamphaeng Hot Springs

San Kamphaeng Hot Springs in the San Kamphaeng district east of Chiang Mai city is northern Thailand's most developed and accessible thermal park, drawing on bicarbonate mineral springs that emerge at up to 98°C from the granite fissures of the Mae Klang valley. The park is beautifully landscaped with wooden walkways, garden areas and multiple bathing pools of different temperatures, including dedicated pools for foot bathing and full-body immersion. Hard-boiled eggs cooked in the boiling vents are a San Kamphaeng tradition beloved by Thai visitors. The spring water's high silica and bicarbonate content gives it particularly beneficial properties for skin conditions, and the park attracts both local Thai families for recreational bathing and international tourists exploring the Chiang Mai region's outdoor attractions. The surrounding valleys and tea plantations of San Kamphaeng district provide beautiful countryside for cycling and exploration.
