Introduction
Nestled in Klong Thom district, Krabi, lies a one‑of‑a‑kind salt hot spring—the Klong Thom Hot Spring. Managed by the local Tambon Administration Organization (TAO), it’s a hidden gem where natural wellness meets local charm.
🕰️ Best Time to Visit
• Open Daily from 06:00 AM to 08:00 PM.
• Ideal Visiting Time: Early morning (6:00–10:00 AM). At this time, the mist rises from the warm water and temperatures are cooler, creating a tranquil atmosphere.
• Avoid: Late afternoons, especially during rainy season—strong sun and sudden showers can make visits unpleasant.

• Local Testimony: Local vendors and nearby residents often share stories of people whose joint pain lessened or skin texture improved after repeated visits.
🏞️ History & Management
• Governance: Maintained by Klong Thom’s TAO, ensuring cleanliness, safety, and basic facilities like changing rooms and foot‑soaking pools.
• Historical Use: Long used by locals for healing and relaxation before gaining wider recognition as a tourist attraction.
