Water profile
Soothing — neither hot nor cold, perfect balance.
Loaded with major ions — the essential minerals (Ca, Mg).
Soft water — natural, classic buoyancy.
In the border district of Mae Sot, in Thailand's Tak Province, this natural hot spring pool sits close to the Myawaddy area where the Thai and Burmese lowlands converge across the Moei River. Mae Sot is a town of remarkable cultural crosscurrents — Karen, Burman, Chinese, and Thai communities intersect here in a frontier atmosphere unlike anywhere else in Thailand, and the landscape of rugged hills and teak-forested valleys adds to its frontier character.
The spring waters reach 38 °C with a bicarbonate composition and an alkaline pH of 8 — a softer, more enveloping character than sulfurous springs, known for leaving skin feeling smooth and refreshed after immersion. The gentle alkalinity interacts pleasantly with the skin, and the steady warmth in this borderland setting makes for a genuinely restorative soak in surroundings that feel worlds removed from the tourist circuits of northern Thailand.
