Almost back to reality, but my mind is still all the way there......#krabi #hotspringswaterfall #thailand#thailand2018 #water #nature #hotsprings#welivetoexplore #welivetotravel #travel#travelblogger #wanderlust #instamoment#instagood #instatravelA couple of Thai teasers, nothing too serious.
Let's just start somewhere in Central Thailand, Khanchanaburi naturally. A bit cheeky too.
amnicky at Rock Valley hot spring:

Then heading northwards, but close to the Burmese border, there's the riverside hot spring of Umphang (Mae Sot):

Sometimes luxury does not mean a lot of money. It may seem like a 5-star hotel, but it is just an hot spring in the rural area of Thailand. Let me tell you the story of this picture:During the lunch break at Samoeng we met a Thai-UK couple, owners of a strawberry farm nearby. We have not only visited their farm, eaten their awesome strawberries, but we were also recommend this hot springs. They were not on our plan or route, but we decided to accept the challenge. We drove like 30 km passing by a lot of villages, real authentic Thai countryside, until reaching a dirty road. We had almost lost all our hopes of finding the hot springs when suddenly we saw the sign ⚠️ 150 baht per person and you get towel and swim clothes. A lot of different hot pools with different temperatures and depths in a lovely setting... the rest you can judge by the picture or pay them a visit 😉
After this description of how to get to the Samoeng hot spring, following is another Chiang Mai hot spring, that of Pong Duet:

Staying north there are two articles on the hot springs of Chiang Rai.
The first article from Chiang Rai News (Sep. 25) concerns hot spring promotion:
'Chiang Rai province launched a Lanna Wellness tourism campaign over the weekend, promoting local hot springs.
Speaking at the event, Pranpreeya Polyiam of the Provincial Tourism and Sports Office said tourists and local residents travel to the hot springs for relaxation, as well as health and wellness. She revealed that a research team from Chiang Rai Rajabhat University has performed a study, detailing health benefits of the 12 local hot springs.
To set Chiang Rai apart from other northern provinces, waters from the hot springs will be delivered to nearby hotels. Hot spring-based beauty and spa products and services will be developed and sold through the province’s hotels and spas to promote the popularity of local hot springs'.
Happier
Then from the officialdom to the slightly whacky.
The Bangkok Post (Nov. 14):
'Chinese tourists visiting Thailand in the thousands are making a lesser-known attraction far more popular – boiling eggs in a northern hot spring.
Scores more travellers from China were buying eggs from vendors at the steamy site in Chiang Rai’s Wieng Pa Pao district on Tuesday morning.
Chillier temperatures also encourage tourists to dip their feet in the warm water.
The egg suppliers of Tambon Mae Chedi Yai couldn’t be happier. Business has never been so brisk.
One vendor said she’s lately been selling 300 to 500 eggs a day to tourists, most of them Chinese.
The usual price is Bt20 for a woven basket holding three eggs.
Tourists suspend the baskets in the hot spring for a minute or two if they want their eggs soft-boiled and three minutes for hard-boiled'
Boiling eggs in the hot springs. 98 degrees Celsius. Tastes very good, fresh eggs. #chiangrai#thaihotspring#hotspring#thailandMore hot springs from Chiang Mai province:
