The San kampaeng Hot Spring, where the Thai families traditionally go to spend time together
The Sankamphaeng Hot Spring are about a 45 mins drive from Chiangmai on Highway 1317. The run there's dear and very beautiful with views of the hill and rice paddy's. The roads are good quality and well sign posted so it is very easy to find. This place is so attractive, everything is well maintained and we ended up spending a couple of hours here. The garden is approximately 35 acres and very favourite with locals, we were the only westerners there.
