Why go, and how to do it well

Buy a basket of eggs, dangle them in water hot enough to cook them through in nine minutes, and you've understood the appeal of this place in about five minutes flat. It's a geothermal park rather than a spa, built around a jet fountain that throws boiling water into the air all day, with flower gardens, picnic lawns, restaurants and a camping area spread around it. Foreigners pay 100 baht, which includes soaking your feet in the mineral stream, and towels can be rented on site. There are foot massage stalls at local prices too.

Where I'd temper expectations is the mineral bath area. Reviewers keep flagging the same thing, tired fittings, and tubs that aren't always cleaned between users. Private couples baths exist if you want them. Families do best here, though be warned that the children's pool is 20 baht per child aged four to eleven, it's about 70cm deep, and parents aren't permitted in the water at any price. Watch your kids from the edge.

Reviews from Google

A really nice place to relax! They also have a nice camping area. One of my favorite things about this place is the hot pool. Of course, my kids love cooking eggs there because it is really fun and delicious. (You can buy them there) I highly recommend checking this place out.

Beautiful place to spend a day or even camp overnight. The spring shoots constant boiling water in a jet fountain. The water close to.the spring is hot enough to boil eggs which you can buy here. The eggs were delicious, but make sure to cook them at least 9 minutes. I enjoyed soaking my aching feet in the mineral water and felt tired but refreshed afterwards. There are plenty of places for a good foot massage with local prices. There is a mineral bath and private couples baths. Several restaurants and local food, including crepes are sold throughout the park.

A fun day trip for children in a mountainous setting. Prices are reasonable, and it's well-organized and well-maintained. The only downside for us were the rules at the children's pool. The entrance fee was 20 TBH per child (ages 4-11), but parents aren't allowed in the water, even if they're willing to pay. On the other hand, there are plenty of signs telling you to keep an eye on your children so they don't drown. The water is about 70cm deep, so a bit deep for children who can't swim (well). As a result, the pool stays pretty empty. For the rest it's a really nice calm and relaxing environment
