Saline Hot Spring Khlong Thom น้ำพุร้อนเค็มคลองท่อม

Saline Hot Spring Khlong Thom, Krabi Province (30 August, 2003)


Saline Hot Spring Khlong Thom น้ำพุร้อนเค็มคลองท่อม (GPS: 7.90492, 99.10876) is a saline hot spring. It is located in Khlong Thom (also written Klong Thom) District, Krabi Province, about forty kilometers south of Krabi Town. What makes this hot spring different from others is that in addition to pools of hot springs, the water cascades down in the form of a hot waterfall, emptying into the cool stream below. It is possible to bathe in both the cool water of the stream mixed with the shower of hot water from the springs above, making for a most relaxing experience. The minerals and the temperature (38 - 40 ºC) makes this an ideal destination for a hydrotherapy bath.

Like most places in Thailand, there is an entrance fee to visit Klong Thom, and the price is usually different between locals and foreigners. Naturally it costs foreigner more - usually 200% more. During ancient times, Klong Thom was a trading stop along the ancient marine silk route. Today ancient beads found here are on display among the artifacts at the museum of Wat Klong Thom.

I visited Klong Thom with busloads of AsiaExplorers members, when we explore the coastal sights in South Thailand. Klong Thom does not get many visitors as it is away from the main tourist belt such as Phuket and Ko Samui.

Getting there

To reach Namtok Ron Khlong Thom Hot Springs, travel from Krabi in the direction of Amphur Khlong Thom. From there, take Sukhanphiban 2 Road for a farther 12 kilometers.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
