Chae Son National Park

Tucked into the mountains of Lampang province, Chae Son National Park draws visitors with its rare combination of natural hot springs, forested landscapes, and cascading waterfalls — all within a well-maintained setting that feels surprisingly polished for a wilderness park. The hot springs area is the centrepiece, featuring both communal mineral foot baths and private onsen-style soaking cabins for those wanting a more secluded experience. A long-standing visitor tradition involves purchasing raw eggs from vendors on-site and boiling them directly in the natural spring water. Beyond the hot springs, the park offers access to waterfalls reachable by a short trail, shaded picnic areas, and on-site massage services. Accommodation options include bungalow rentals and a campsite where visitors can bring their own tent or rent one with a sleeping bag included. The grounds are consistently described by visitors as clean and well-kept, with a calm, unhurried atmosphere suited to day-trippers and overnight guests alike. The park is open daily from 06:00 to 18:00, making an early arrival worthwhile to enjoy the hot springs before crowds build later in the day. An entrance fee applies, and private onsen cabins should be arranged on arrival. The park is located in Amphoe Mueang Pan, Lampang, and is most easily reached by private vehicle. Visitors planning to stay overnight are advised to confirm bungalow availability in advance, particularly on weekends.
