The Ban Tha Chang spring is a small stretch of the Lam Takong River with crystal-clear, turquoise water. Located nine kilometers from the northern entrance of Khao Yai National Park, the main entrance, it is surprisingly little known, especially among foreign tourists. Yet it's a very pleasant spot for bathing and even swimming in a natural pool shaded by trees. Locals know it much better, so on weekends and holidays, many Thais, mostly from Bangkok, come here. During the week, it's considerably quieter! Apart from this small section, the river's water color is less appealing, especially during the rainy season. The clarity of the Ban Tha Chang spring water is due to its natural bubbling up from the ground. Rainwater is filtered through the area's limestone rocks, which rise to the surface. This gives the Ban Tha Chang spring water its freshness and deep blue color.

Free entry. Open from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. This is private property. The Ban Tha Chang spring is accessed through a house that serves as the entrance; however, there is no entrance fee. Changing rooms are not available. As mentioned, it gets very crowded on weekends and the place is quite small. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid visiting on weekends and Thai public holidays.

To reach the Ban Tha Chang spring, you will need your own means of transport.
