Jungle Steam & Chill Time in Pai

Just a quick drive from Pai town, Tha Pai Hot Spring sits quietly in Huai Nam Dang National Park and is one of the most popular Attractions in Pai. It’s not just about soaking — it’s the jungle vibe, the mist in the morning, and the soft sound of hot water trickling through the forest. If you’re visiting on a Chiang Mai Private Tour or looking for that extra chill moment in your Mae Hong Son Package Tour, this spot will hit the mark.

1. The Vibe & The View

Imagine soaking in a warm pool while surrounded by trees, birds chirping overhead, and steam rising around you. There’s something magical about it — especially early in the morning when the air is cool and the mist floats over the pools. It feels like stepping into a movie set.

2. What to Expect

You’ll find a series of naturally heated pools, with water coming straight from underground at 80–100°C. Don’t worry — the pools for soaking are much cooler! You can wander the wooden paths, dip your toes, or fully submerge in the lower-temperature spots. Plus, you can cook eggs in the geothermal pots — a favorite with Thai families and tourists alike.
