A slight appendix to the Southeast Asian entry with news / views from Thailand.

Thaiger reports (8 Sep.) on an unfortunate accident:

'A 16 year old Thai youth suffered severe burns after plunging into a scorching hot spring with temperatures exceeding 80 degrees Celsius at Doi Pha Hom Pok National Park in the Fang district of the northern province of Chiang Mai.
...
he positioned himself on a bridge that spanned the middle of the hot spring, leaning against the weathered wooden railing. Unfortunately, the aged railing could not withstand his weight, causing him to tumble into the scalding waters below'.

Thaiger has other soaking related articles. On onsens in Thailand for instance. December 9 (2022):

'Since the 90s, venues started popping up across Thailand, mostly catering to the many hundreds of Japanese overseas workers living and working in Thailand, with Bangkok seeing the largest concentration'.

June 15:

'What if we tell you that you can have an authentic onsen experience right in the bustling city of Bangkok? Here are five amazing onsens in Bangkok that you have to visit'

The Blondtravels heads (Sep. 29) over to Pong Kwao hot springs.

'We were a little shocked seeing that one ticket cost 150 Baht. We had been to the San Kamphaeng Hot Springs before and thought that it would be the same here: just a park with some hot water stream, where the biggest attraction was boiling eggs. This time, however, it was different and we were handed towels and outfits: bermuda shorts for Chris and a jumpsuit for me.

We entered the main area with a nice, little garden, fountains and a small swimming pool. Wooden bungalows lined the paved path. We peaked in one of them. There was a group of Thai men soaking in crystal blue water. We stood outside thinking if we should go in and what should we do with our clothes. A few meters further I saw a caucasian man standing outside of one of the bungalows and I decided to ask him. As it turned out, for 150 Baht you could have your own private hut, where you could spend as much time as you wished.

...

We picked one with a sign ’empty’ on its door and went it. We were tempted to just go into the water naked, but there was a big gap between the ground and the wall through which people from the nearby bungalows could see us, so we changed into the clothes we had been given'.

Johnny Melon has updated (Jan. 11) his guide to Sai Ngam hot springs - Pai:

These stunning hot springs feature a 3-tiered cascading natural hot pool, the top one being the hottest at 34 degrees Celsius.
I could have spent hours floating around in this crystal clear hot spring. The water temperature was just perfect!
