San Kamphaeng Hot Spring is located just 23 km from
San Kamphaeng district and about 36 km from Chiang
Mai City. It is situated amid natural surroundings
of shady trees and fertile hills. The drive to the
small weaving village of San Kamphaeng passes by
a large number of handicraft shops and the famous
umbrella village of Bo Sang. Some 3km beyond the
village is the pleasant forty-acre park containing
the hot springs.
The park has been well landscaped and in the cool
season the flowers are very lovely making it a good
place for picnics. There you can find a camping area,
a swimming pool, restaurant dining facilities and
segregated mineral water bathing room huts are also
available.
The San Kamphaeng Hot Spring is the ideal destination
for health and physical well being. The water has
high sulphur content and possesses curative and restorative
properties. This is a very active geological area.
The water, at a temperature of a hundred degrees
centigrade, comes from a deep source. Attempts have
been made to harness this energy and there is a research
station nearby with information on display.
Accommodation can be booked by contacting the San
Kamphaeng Hot Spring Co-operative Village, Chiang
