Sai Ngam Hot Spring a secret crystal hot spring in Pai
Sai Ngam hot spring is crystal clear and pure, very relaxing, expansive and not at all overcrowded.
There are two popular hot springs in Pai. The more famous one is the Tha Pai hot spring, that many tourists choose to visit mainly because it closest and easiest-to-find. The entrance fee there is 300 baht. The top pool is 80°C, hot enough to boil an egg. There are then a series of lower pools, each with a cooler temperature. The second one, if you like pure nature, beautiful scenery and few tourists this hot spring is the answer.
The Saingam Hot Spring also known as the Secret Hot Spring is located about 15 kilometres north of Pai. The Hot Spring has a couple of large pools in which people can swim in, with the most popular being the large pool at the top. The water is a pleasant 34°C and crystal clear. The shallow lagoon surrounded by a lush, jungly forest is completely natural and hasn’t been landscaped or altered. The water sits at a comfortable temperature which will allow you to soak for hours, should you so choose.
There are change rooms and toilets located here as well as food and drink stalls where you can purchase a snack or a drink.
So come to the Sai Ngam Hot Spring for a great day out during your stay in Pai!
How to get to there :
Get on the 1095 road out of Pai, heading towards Mae Hong Son City. About 11 kilometer from Pai town you will see a blue sign on your left for the Sai Ngam hot spring. Turning right, that has lots of different signs in Thai and English. Drive forward 4 Km. You’ll see a little wooden hut just off the road, that belongs to the forestry commission, and that is where you pay your 20 baht ‘entry’ fee.
The road to the hot spring was full of height differences, with one hill steeper than the other. If you’re a beginner on the motorbike, it can certainly be done, but exercise caution.
