Hot springs

Completed a 62 mile bicycle ride to the hot springs near Fairbanks, Alaska. It got me to wondering if Thailand has hot springs, the therapeutics of a hot springs is worth a lot of riding.

sure do... In northern Thailand as well as the southern area around Ranong.. http://www.thailand.com/travel/natural/ ... spring.htm Both the northern Chiang Mai/Chiang Rai area and Ranong area are on seismic fault lines which generally have plenty of hot spring areas..

Several years ago we took our visiting daughter up north......one of the highlights was an unexpected stop at a hot springs spa......โป่งน้ำร้อนทาปาย. Besides boiling eggs in one particularly hot spot, my wife and daughter got all slathered up in mud from the hot springs...then bought a case of soap bars made from the soap. Our daughter still uses it to this day!

Thanks! I will certainly check these out. The hot springs here is good for my wife's allergies. Here the hot springs are best when it is -30 but still nice in the summer. It sure was nice after the 62 mile bike ride!
