Popping

Nim Araya at  Ban Phu Kham, Thailand · น้ำพุร้อนบ้านครูเพชรบูรณ์ バンクルー温泉 Bankru Hot Spring.

A very very rare contribution to this blog. 
Driven by a visit to Thailand by Thermalsprings.ru which shares with us an overview of the many hot springs visited. The list you'll find at the end of this entry. Otherwise some news. Some photo's. And back to oblivion. Question mark.

Thaiger reports (Sept. 5, 2023) on a hot spring mishap. A bridge was definitely not sturdy enough:
'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'.
Again Thaiger, this time with an overview (Dec. 9, 2022) of onsen history in Thailand:
'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'.
That's basically the history lesson!
Last year (Jun. 15) Thaiger shared a brief overview of Bangkok's onsens (n=5).

Hotspringjourneys also adds (Feb. 19) a list of Thai hot springs, just seven though.

Theblondtravels heads to Chiang Mai's Pong Kwao: 
'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.
The inside of the hut was simple, but clean. There were a couple of hangers and baskets for your items. There was also a small shower cabin with cold water'.

One of Thailands leading newspapers, the Nation, shares a visit (Sep. 12, 2023) to Onsen @ Moncham, near Chiang Mai:
'The mineral water from the natural hot springs, emanating from over 100 meters below ground, is so relaxing and revitalizing. I'm confident it's good for the skin and muscles, but I know for sure that it's good for my spirit. The indoor onsen is sex-segregated without clothing, while the onsen in the garden is mixed-gender with swimsuits required. Both are wonderful'.

Bangkokairways has a blog (Nov. 23, 2023) on the hot springs of Pai (n=3):
'A trip to any of the natural hot springs in Pai is a wonderful opportunity to relax and nurture your body while relishing the soothing sound of the waters, the song of birds in the trees, and the refreshing feel of the light wind on your skin. Beyond soaking, you can also explore your surroundings and make exciting discoveries. So don’t miss it!

JonnyMelon has an updated (Jan. 11, =2023) blog entry on Sai Ngam (Pai). A bit expansive for just 1 hot spring.

As said, Thermalsprings.ru has been on a soaking sojourn to Thailand. Result has been their Thailand overview, more or less as follows:

North Thailand
Phu Klon Spa - jedno ze tři jediných míst na světe s přírodním léčivým bahýnkem. Přitom málo známé a pro nás převážně bez lidí. Perfektní místo po několikadenní náročné cestě a přesezených zadcích na motorce, nebo aspoň to jsme si mysleli. Obličejový bahenní zábal byl perfektním startem a věřila jsem, že relax v termální vodě si naprosto užiji, ALE nenapadlo by mne, že teplota vody ze mě bude po pár sekundách dělat lidský vývar. Thajci sice nebudou nejodolnější a nejotužilejší národ vůči studeným teplotám, ale naopak ty vysoké teploty zvládají bravůrně. Zatímco já tam na poprvé vydržela maximálně minutu a vylezla červená jak napařené kuře, starší dámy si ve vodě lebedily u zdroje horké vody desítky minut a ani se neměly potřebu ochladit ledovou sprchou. Ten klid a výhled na nádhernou přírodu ti vděk v duši přivodí tak i tak💧❤️
