The Experience

Before You Go

Hydrate for long days

Bring a refillable bottle and drink steadily—tropical humidity and adrenaline make dehydration easy.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy sneakers with grip are best for platforms, short hikes, and uneven village lanes.

Prepare for heights

The longest lines reach a few hundred feet above the valley—if you have acrophobia, speak with your guide first.

Start early or late

Schedule the tour early morning or late afternoon to avoid peak heat and mid-day crowds at the hot springs.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small coffee roasters and tea gardens on the Mae Kampong lanes worth a quick stop
  • A short riverside path in Mae Kampong that offers quiet views away from the main visitor area

Wildlife

  • long-tailed macaque
  • various forest songbirds

Conservation Note

The area benefits from community-run tourism—stay on trails, avoid single-use plastics, and support local vendors to minimize ecological impact.

Mae Kampong is a traditional Lanna village that has shifted toward community-based tourism; San Kamphaeng Hot Springs was historically part of San Kamphaeng district before administrative changes placed it in Mae On.
