Pong Kwao Hot Spring
A chic onsen, a natural hot spring, a wide open corner amidst the mountains, 60 km from Chiang Mai. With a cool atmosphere in the rainy season, lying down and soaking in the hot spring water is so cool.
The hot spring here has many types, there are medium-sized shared pools with a roof and without a roof, but the fence is private and the small pools are separate rooms.
The price of soaking in the hot spring water is 80 baht, but if you are a traveler staying at the Pong Kwao homestay, there is a special price of 40 baht. You can sit, walk, enjoy the view or soak in the hot spring all day, no one will say anything (clothes for soaking in the hot spring and towels are provided).
How to get there: From Chiang Mai, head towards Mae Rim. When you reach the Samoeng intersection, turn left towards Samoeng. Drive along the road and you will see the first 7-11 on the left. Prepare to look for the alley on the right (going the same way as the Mae Pae Royal Project). Drive along the road and there will be signs for the Ban Pong Kwao hot spring. The signs are not large, so you have to look for them.
The road surface is smooth but high and winding until you reach the Pong Kwao village. But the road to the hot spring is a dirt road that is not smooth. Cars are not recommended.
