4.5Chae Son National Park(142 reviews) - Hot springs, waterfall and onsen bath. National Parks
After paying an entrance fee (40 baht for Thai and 200 bath for foreigner), visitors will enter into this amazing national park. There are many hot springs (with a light smell of sulphur) surrounded by many rocks scattered on the grassy field. Average temperature of the hot springs is approximately 75 degrees celsius. Popular activity in this zone is to buy eggs and boil them in these hot springs (with a suitable time indicated on the signboard at each pool) making "onsen tamago". The other zone is Chae Son waterfall. Accessible by hiking, this beautiful waterfall has 6 levels. There is a pond with many fish at some levels, so don't forget to buy food to feed them. Another activity is "onsen". Relax yourself in the private hut and enjoy hot tubs with 40 degrees celsius mineral water directly from hot spring (50 baht).See more..
I did a day trip from Chiang Mai today to the summit of Khun Tan. It Is a great escape from the city. I caught the 8:50 train from Chiang Mai, and got up to the visitor center by about 10. The total hike me about five hours, and that was including the looploop to the waterfall. The hike up it was fantastic, I did it on my own and had no concerns and the view at the top is spectacular. The loop to the waterfall wasn’t worth it in my opinion, at this time of year the water wasn’t running very fast and it’s a lot of extra uphill and downhill. Overall it was a fantastic day from the city, I got the 18:20 train back to Chiang Mai and was back to my hostel by 8 PMSee more..
