We went to a hot springs for the first time in our lives today. We have had continuous rain for many days now and it was cool enough to make a hot springs trip seem appealing. We first went for the mineral swimming pool. Unfortunately, the pool wasn't well maintained. The water was so full of dead algae that we could barely see a foot into the water. After about 20 minutes, we felt the need for "bathing in the basin" as you can see from the sign. This is just a large hot tub that fills with water from the springs. We all felt itchy after our mineral bath so we bought salt to scrub our skin with we felt clean but smelled like eggs the rest of the day. In spite of having breathed the rotten eggs smell for several hours, we boiled eggs in the spring and ate them for lunch as this is the Thai tradition.

I love how Thai's use english. "Warn, take off the silver before bath."
