The Phu Klon Country Club Health Mud Spa is renowned for its mud, which is naturally rich in invigorating, some would even say rejuvenating, minerals. It's located about 20 kilometers from Mae Hong Son. Phu Klon is one of only three natural mud thermal springs in the world. Thanks to the natural thermal spring, the mud used for treatments is rich in minerals that are beneficial for the skin and circulation. There are two areas: the regular spa area and the VIP area. You can choose between face masks and full-body treatments. After the mud is applied, you should wait about 30 minutes for it to dry before rinsing it off. I had the opportunity to visit the VIP area, and I preferred the atmosphere of the regular spa with its small changing rooms and the thermal pool under the palm trees.

Expect to pay 120 THB for a face mask and 900 THB for the complete package (face + body and access to the mineral water pool). If you only want to use the pool, it costs 60 THB per person. Foot baths are also available. These are the prices for the regular spa area. The price list for the VIP spa area starts at 590 THB.

You can apparently reach Phu Klon Mud Spa by songthaew from Sai Yood Market (Mae Hong Son Airport side). The stop is about 300-400 meters from the entrance. I believe it's the same songthaew that goes to Ban Rak Thai, but it's advisable to check beforehand. Apparently, there's only one songthaew per day in each direction, which isn't very convenient.
