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

Buy a basket of eggs, put them in hot water so they're cooked in nine minutes, and you'll understand the appeal of this place in just five minutes. It's more of a geothermal park than a spa, built around a fountain that spouts boiling water all day long. Flower gardens, picnic areas, restaurants, and a campground surround the fountain. Foreigners pay 100 baht, which includes a foot bath in the mineral water. Towels are available for rent on-site. Foot massages are also offered at local prices.

You should temper your expectations somewhat regarding the mineral baths. Reviewers frequently complain about the worn-out facilities and the fact that the tubs aren't always cleaned between users. There are separate baths for couples. Families will feel most comfortable here; however, please note that the children's pool costs 20 baht per child (four to eleven years old), is only about 70 cm deep, and parents are generally not allowed to bathe in it. Therefore, keep an eye on your children from the poolside.
