Doi Saket Hot Spring

Free to wander, 100 baht for a private soak, and worth folding into a day out rather than driving an hour for.

Why go, and how to do it well

Treat this as a stop on a bigger loop, not a destination in itself. The grounds are free to walk around, well kept without being polished, and clearly aged in a way that suits the setting. If you want to actually soak, the private cubicles run about 100 THB per person, which is fair for what it is. Plenty of people rate the drive out here as much as the springs themselves, and cycling from Chiang Mai is a popular way to do it.

Around the baths there's a small community market with food stalls, crafts and eggs you can boil in the spring water, which sounds gimmicky until you're standing there doing it. A café and coffee shop nearby handle the sitting-around part. The one thing I'd skip is the on-site massage. Reviews repeatedly mention therapists chatting loudly through the session and taking phone calls mid-treatment, which rather defeats the point. Save your massage money for Chiang Mai.

Reviews from Google

It's a pretty secluded and interesting spot. It's not new and you can tell it's aged, but still it's not expensive and worth a visit and a dip in one of the VIP private baths. It's only 100 THB/person (max 2 persons), so give it a try if you're in the are, as it's not worth driving there specifically to dip in the hot spring water. Still, highly recommended once you are there.

Beautiful and peaceful hot spring in Chiang Mai. Very clean, easy to get to, and perfect for relaxing with family or friends.

We enjoyed the hot spring and environment but were not very happy about the massage place on site. Three of us paid and got manage together. But the ladies working on us, kept talking with each other loud through out the whole 60 minutes non-stop. It is supposed to be a quiet relaxing hour, but we never had a peaceful moment. And mine even checked on her phone and talked on the phone while she was working on me. That’s not professional at all. They are paid to work, can talk and answer their phones outside their work hour. Not very happy about it at all.
