Relaxation and Rejuvenation at Doi Saket Hot Spring

Getting There

• Songthaew

  From the Old City of Chiang Mai, head to the nearest Songthaew stop, which you can find on the street near the Thapae Gate. Look for a red Songthaew that is headed to Doi Saket. The fare is typically around 40-60 THB. Once you are on the Songthaew, inform the driver that you want to go to Doi Saket Hot Spring. The journey will take approximately 30-40 minutes, and you will be dropped off at the main road near the hot spring area.

• Public Bus

  To take a public bus, head to the Arcade Bus Station (also known as the Chiang Mai Bus Terminal 2). You can take a tuk-tuk or a taxi from the Old City to the station. Once at the Arcade Bus Station, look for a bus that goes to Doi Saket. The buses leave regularly, and the fare is usually around 30-50 THB. The bus journey will take about 30-45 minutes. After arriving in Doi Saket, you may need to walk or take a local tuk-tuk to reach Doi Saket Hot Spring.

• Tuk-tuk

  If you prefer a more direct route, you can hire a tuk-tuk from anywhere in Chiang Mai. Simply negotiate the fare before starting your journey; it should be around 400-600 THB for a round trip. The tuk-tuk driver will take you straight to Doi Saket Hot Spring, which takes approximately 30-40 minutes. Make sure to agree on a time for your return trip.
