Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

The hot springs are the main reason to visit. You sit with your feet in a mineral bath under the trees, and just a few meters away, people lower baskets of raw eggs into the boiling spring water – a common practice here that's definitely worth experiencing. Those seeking a more tranquil experience will find onsen-like huts for relaxation, as well as massage and picnic areas. Reviews frequently mention words like "well-maintained" and "elegant," and some guests say the area around the springs reminds them of Japan – a clear indication that this is not untouched wilderness.

Just a short walk from the hot springs is a waterfall. It's beautiful to look at, but not suitable for swimming. The water is cold; the springs are much better. You can stay overnight in a bungalow or at a campsite. Bring your own tent or rent one for 280 baht, including a sleeping bag. Relaxing in the thermal pool in the morning, before the day tourists arrive, is the reward for your stay.
