Bore Klueng Hot Spring

3.9(2,685 reviews)

Tucked into the Suan Phung district of Ratchaburi province, Bore Klueng Hot Spring is an unpretentious, authentic geothermal site where naturally heated mineral waters maintain a consistent temperature of around 39.5°C. Rather than a resort-style experience, this is a genuine local attraction that draws Thai visitors looking to relax in tiled soaking pools and a dedicated leg-soaking area, surrounded by a quiet rural setting. Small roadside stalls selling fresh fruit and vegetables line the approach, adding to the unhurried, everyday atmosphere that makes this feel like a distinctly local outing rather than a tourist destination. Visitors can choose between two pool areas and will find the water temperature warm and comfortable without being overwhelming. The setup is simple and the pace is relaxed, though the site can get noticeably busy during public holidays when crowds build throughout the day. Good to know: Entry is very affordable, with ticket prices ranging from 5 to 80 baht depending on the ticket type and nationality. Cash is essential as card payments are not accepted on site. The terrain involves some walking on uneven ground and is not well suited to wheelchair users, so those with mobility needs should plan accordingly. Waterproof sandals and a change of clothes are strongly recommended. Google Maps navigates reliably to the location, and the site makes a convenient stop for anyone staying in the Suan Phung area. Arriving on a weekday morning is the best way to avoid crowds and enjoy a quieter soak.

Visitor Reviews

Lovely hot spring in Ratchaburi. Today's temperature is 39.5c and it's lovely hot Not too hot at all. Many visitors are enjoying the hot spring. Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for reading.

Followed Google map which will easily lead you there. Fortunately it was about 5 k.m. from where I was staying. The tiled pool was lovely. Water temperature was just right. We were there about 9.30 a.m. so we had the pool to ourselves. We soaked for about 20minutes. All in all it was a lovely experience. Highly recommended.

Small scale hot spring pool and leg soaking area. There are local stores selling fruits and veggies along the way. Don’t set expectations and you will really experience the local ways.

Tips for Visiting Activities & Tours

Vet Elephant Sanctuaries

Only visit sanctuaries that prohibit riding, use no chains or bullhooks, and let elephants roam freely. Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai set the standard. If a place offers painting shows or circus tricks, walk away.

Book Through Klook or GetYourGuide

These platforms offer instant confirmation, free cancellation on most activities, and prices that are often lower than walk-up rates. Compare with local agencies for multi-day trips where negotiation might save more.

Do Outdoor Activities in the Morning

Heat and humidity peak from noon to 3 PM. Schedule jungle treks, cycling tours, and outdoor cooking classes for early morning. Water activities are more flexible since you're in and out of the sea.
