The Raksawarin hot springs of Ranong are located just outside the city. These natural hot springs have been a popular tourist destination since King Rama V's visit in 1890. Three hot springs are located in the area. The water emerges at 65°C. It is considered the purest natural hot spring in Thailand, as it is completely sulfur-free. Visitors can therefore drink the water directly at the source. Within the Raksawarin hot springs park, there is a spa with pools that is free for public use. Just beyond is a private area belonging to the Tinidee Hotel (40 THB per person – open from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm – Tel.: 077 835 240). Alternatively, the Siam Spa can be visited on the opposite side of the road.

Free admission. Open from 10:30 am to 7:30 pm.

It's quite a walk from the center of Ranong. The best way is to take a tuk-tuk. There are almost always tuk-tuks waiting at the Ranong bus station.
