Ton Nga Chang Songkhla

Ton Nga Chang Hot Spring and Waterfall is a natural thermal site in Rattaphum district of Songkhla Province in the deep south of Thailand, set within the Ton Nga Chang Wildlife Sanctuary — a protected rainforest named for the elephant-tusk-shaped waterfalls that cascade through primary forest before meeting the thermal spring complex below. The sulfated mineral waters provide therapeutic soaking in a jungle setting of remarkable biodiversity, where hornbills, gibbons, and Malayan tapirs inhabit the dense tropical forest surrounding the thermal pools. The southern Thai location near the Malaysian border gives the site a distinctive cultural atmosphere influenced by Malay Muslim traditions, traditional Thai-Malay cuisine, and the languid, tropical pace of life characteristic of Thailand's southern peninsula.
