Located at a travel stop with gift stores, 7/11 and a free foot spa.
Hot water springs and a geyser across the road if you are travelling to chaing rai.
Ladies sellin eggs for 20b that you can cook in the water.
It's there at a travel stop, it's free and just nice to see the power of nature so worth a stop on your way to or from Chaingrai.

Boil two eggs in one minute in the hot springs. There are coffee shops and souvenirs. There was a live band when I visited. Very unique. A good stop on the way to Chiang Rai. There's a replica of an Ankor temple.

Not worth seeking out on their own, but odds are good you will stop here on day trips north from Chiang Mai. Small hot springs with very hot water for soaking your feet surrounded by huge tourist trap markets and gimmicks.

20 or 30 years ago this small hot spring was a must-stop for anyone travelling between Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, but its former glory is long gone. Coming from Chiang Mai, the original spring is situated on the right-hand side and now in a dilapidated condition so almost all tour buses stop at what appears to be an out-of-place bazaar with dozens of shops surrounding a more recent incarnation of the geyser and a mock-Khmer temple (a reminder of Bangkok's once-famous night market?) thrown in for good measure. Don't expect any good photo ops!

We stopped for a refresher break on the tour from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai. Maybe there is more to see but the geyser in the car park was it. A continuous jetting of 90C hot smelly water approx 3m height. Locals were cooking eggs in the hot water from the small adjacent geyse as an attraction. Many, many shops and stalls. Public toilets that are disgusting although you pay a fee to use. Rude attendant. Tour buses galore of varying capacity, throngs of tourists. A major attraction? Doubtful.

Much ado about nothing. Just a couple of wells with bubbling hot water and random stores built around it.

This was the first stop of my 1 day tour of Chiang Rai from Chiang Mai.... the hot water shooting quite high .... took a few photos :)
It also has some food stalls, toilet , and a warm spring water bath for your legs just nearby.

This is a half way stop between Chiang Mai and Phayao and provides the amenities of pay toilets (decent by local standards) Coffee shops (numerous), Souvenir shops (more numerous) with the added attraction of a pretty hot hot spring. It is not actually artesian - there are pumps that are pumping the subsurface water up. The water is mineral rich with usual sulfurous smell - but it is not Yosemite or Rotorua so keep your expectations limited. There is one place (free) for sitting and putting your feet in a shallow channel and give your feet a hot mineral water bath, somehow I wasnt tempted and did not see anyone else doing it either. You can also buy an egg and put it in in the stream (not in the same foot bath channel!), pick it up down stream and eat a boiled egg - the water is hot enough!

After a morning of walking around a few temples it was nice to sit down soak our feet and have a cold drink and some food.
There are several cafes around the hot springs were you can sit and relax.
All the usual facilities available including a 5 baht toilet block.
