Rock Valley Hot Springs and Fish Spa
Fifteen outdoor pools, most of them heated to somewhere between 38 and 40 degrees, a couple left at ambient temperature, and each one given its own character with milk, wine, coffee or herbs. That's the draw here, and it works. Two hours on the standard 650 baht entry is enough to work your way round them slowly, and the mud facial is worth adding if you want to stretch it out. Massage and other treatments are charged separately, and River Kwai Village does packages with an overnight stay if you'd rather make a proper trip of it.
Two things to set expectations. Front desk service comes up repeatedly as cold and short on information, so don't expect hand-holding. And the fish spa in the name has left more than one visitor staring at an empty pool. Come for the water, treat the rest as a bonus.

Reviews from Google
It was a super experience! There are 15 baths with milk, wine, and coffee of different temperatures. It's just magical! the entrance fee is 650 baht, you can get a massage for an additional price. They give you bathing suits, you can't wear your own swimsuit.
This place is a must-visit! They offer 15 different herbal pool spas with an entrance fee of 650 baht, along with a variety of additional massage and spa services available for an extra charge. There are two ways to access the area: by boat or via a local road, which, though unpaved, is still accessible. I highly recommend coming by car to ensure you have plenty of time to relax and enjoy your visit. The facilities are very clean, and the service is excellent!
Disagree with the good reviews. First when I am first on the lobby, she said only 650baht with no smile and no other more information was told. Second the cleanliness is badly ignored. Third, no fish in the fish pool. No one can explain that only with the answer “there’s few….” But not only one client said there’s no fish at all. Fourth, all the staff has no smiles . Total no service at all. But the scenes are good

Tips for Visiting Wellness & Spas
Learn Wat Pho First
Wat Pho in Bangkok is the birthplace of traditional Thai massage education. Their on-site massage pavilion offers excellent treatments from students and graduates at reasonable prices — and you know the technique is authentic.
Communicate Pressure Preferences
Thai massage can be intense. Say 'bao bao' for lighter pressure or 'nак nак' for harder. A good therapist will check in, but don't hesitate to speak up — suffering in silence defeats the purpose.
Book Longer Sessions
A 60-minute massage is fine, but 90 or 120 minutes allows the therapist to work thoroughly. The price difference is often only 200–400 THB for an extra hour — worth it for a deeper, more relaxing experience.
