65 Mu 4 Sa Yai Som is a ferruginous mineral spring in the fourth mu subdivision of Sa Yai Som village, Nong Khai Province, where iron-rich groundwater rises through the geothermal field underlying this northeastern Thai community. The ferruginous character of the spring water at this address — enriched with dissolved iron compounds as the water passes through iron-bearing geological formations — gives it a characteristic color and metallic taste recognized locally as indicators of mineral richness. Community residents access the iron-rich mineral water emerging at this location for drinking and bathing, within the traditional Isan practice of using naturally ferruginous spring water as part of community life.

Insider tip — This iron-rich spring in the Sa Yai Som area of Kanchanaburi has a characteristic reddish-brown mineral tinge where the water contacts rocks and soil. At 38°C, the waters are pleasantly warm and traditionally valued for stimulating circulation and easing joint discomfort. The rustic, undeveloped nature of this site gives it an explorer's appeal. The surrounding Kanchanaburi countryside offers stunning limestone karst scenery to complete the visit.
