About Ban Bo Dan Hot Spring
A natural salt hot spring in the garden of The Hotspring Beach Resort & Spa at Ban Bo Dan, near the north end of Natai Beach. The spring was found on the land about 40 years ago and once rose three and a half metres above the ground; today it fills soaking pools kept at about 40 °C, with a 16 °C cold plunge and an ordinary swimming pool beside them. Visitors who are not staying buy a day pass, 500 baht an adult and 300 a child of 6–12, daily 08:00–19:00, with a locker, a towel, water and parking included; the resort's spa and restaurants are at hand. Keep soaks short and watch children closely.
