We were all pretty tired from our adventures in our first day in Chiang Mai, so we headed back to the hotel and went to sleep promptly.
The next day was an early day; we woke at around 6am in order to get ready to meet with Jean's family, who was going to take us around the town. There were a few confusions however, and we didn't end up leaving until a couple hours later. But during that time, we decided to sign up for a day tour for tomorrow that consisted of elephant riding, river rafting, bamboo rafting and a hike to a waterfall! We were quite excited to get those plans set in stone and ready to go.
Jean's uncle arrive to pick us up, and we set off! The day plan was to visit the San Kamphaeng Hot Springs, and then the Tiger Kingdom. The drive out to the area with all the tourist attractions was quite long, so we felt quite uncomfortable to have to impose on Jean's uncle, but he seemed perfectly fine with driving us.
The San Kamphaeng Hot Springs park was a beautiful place, with many green areas and gardens for family and kids to hang out. It was another blistering hot day, and we walked along the path, following signs that point us to "Hot Springs". There were many other areas of the park including restaurant areas, a mineral pool, buildings for mineral baths, and more! I was quite excited to finally visit a hot springs, but as we got closer, we realized something was wrong. The hot springs were outside in plain view, and were very small. There was a sign indicating that the temperature of the water was 105 degrees Celcius. It also says "Boil egg".
