Raksawarin Hot Springs

Raksawarin Hot Springs is a natural thermal spring complex in Raksa Warin Public Park in Khao Niwet, Mueang Ranong, Ranong town. It features three main mineral hot pools with source temperatures around 65°C, cooled for foot-soaking and bathing. First noted during King Rama V's visit in 1890, it is Ranong's most famous hot spring and a central wellness attraction for visitors.

Visitors can expect a landscaped public park with three main hot spring pools where 65°C mineral water emerges, plus designated foot-soaking channels and bathing pools with cooled water. The area includes paved walkways, shaded seating, changing rooms and showers. The setting is urban parkland near the Ranong River, with steam rising from pools, small pavilions, and signage explaining water temperatures. Visitors can soak feet, bathe in designated pools, relax and take photos.

The springs were brought to national attention when King Rama V (King Chulalongkorn) visited Ranong in 1890 during his tour of southern Thailand. The site has since been preserved and developed as a public park by Ranong Municipality and remains the province's most well-known natural hot spring.

The springs are regarded locally as having therapeutic mineral properties for health and wellness. As a symbol of Ranong, often called the city of hot springs, they are a central part of local wellness culture and daily recreation for residents and visitors.
