 Description:   Ban Pong Nam Ron is at Moo 5, Pong Nam Ron subdistrict, Pong Nam Ron district, Chanthaburi province. It is located on the west bank of Khlang canal which is a minor canal of Pong Nam Ron canal. Nowadays, there are only 2 spots where thermal spring can be found – one is in a limestone well, and the other in a shale well. The flow rate of these hot springs is about 1 liter/seconds and their average temperature is 36 degree Celsius. The water contains a high concentration of various minerals.
Formerly, it had been 25 years that these thermal springs were operated by a private sector before they were abandoned. Therefore, Pong Nam Ron Municipality had to step in for the restoration to revive them as a recreational area for Chanthaburi people. The location where the thermal springs are is well-equipped with facilities and services, such as 2 hot spring pools, Thai massage rooms, the running stream of hot spring and 8 saunas. In addition to these, restaurants serving food and beverage are available outside. The parking lot can accommodate as many as 20 cars. The venue is open 8.00 am – 17.00 pm every day. If you are looking for somewhere to relax or revitalize from natural power, Ban Pong Nam Ron thermal spring in Chanthaburi is definitely a place worth visiting.
It is very convenient to get there by car. Use the Highway 317 (Chanthaburi – Sa Kao route) to enter Sai – Borderline Road and continue for about 10 kilometers. The hot spring is 18 kilometers away from Pong Nam Ron downtown or 50 kilometers from Chanthaburi city center.
After indulging yourself with the hot spring, tourists can pay a visit to other nearby attractions in Pong Nam Ron district. For example, Hin Dat waterfall, Thai-Cambodian Border Market (Chong Pakkad), Khao Sip Ha Chan National Park (Nam Pen waterfall) and the Archaeological Site of Prehistoric Humans.
