Ban Nyai Hot Springs

Ban Nyai Hot Springs is a natural thermal site in the Xieng Khouang Province of northern Laos, where oligomineral springs emerge in a rural mountain landscape inhabited by diverse ethnic minority communities including Hmong, Khmu, and Tai Phuan peoples who have used the spring waters in traditional healing practices for generations. The springs provide simple, unpretentious bathing facilities in a village setting that allows visitors to experience thermal wellness embedded within the living culture of highland Lao ethnic communities. The surrounding landscape of terraced rice fields, karst limestone hills, and dense montane forest in one of Laos's most biodiverse and culturally heterogeneous provinces creates a context of extraordinary natural and human richness for the thermal spring experience.
