Pong Dueat Hot Springs

Pong Dueat Hot Springs is an impressive place to visit. It comprises 3-4 geysers (with water bursts that shoot 2-4 meters into the air) alongside a number of smaller springs.
The Pong Dueat Hot Springs (Pong Duad Pa Pae) is one of the pool types. The underground water seeps upward through a channel of solid melted rock which heats up the water. The accumulation of gases puts the hot water under high pressure and makes it spout into the air all the time but highest spring occurs at regular intervals. Underground, the temperature of the water varies between 170 and 200 degrees Celsius. Above ground the water temperature varies about 100 degrees Celsius.
