A northern girl from Lampang went to visit the Jae Son hot springs.

This trip was a bonus, and it was outside of our original plan.

The story goes that we had to travel to Chiang Mai for our younger sister's wedding. At that time, we booked a flight to Chiang Mai and a return flight to Lampang, because we are a Lampang girl. Yes, our hometown is in Lampang.

After attending our younger sibling's wedding, we planned to return to our home in Lamphang to wait for our flight the next day at two in the afternoon.

Since I'm already in the countryside, I might as well explore!

Since we've been whining about wanting to travel since we landed in Chiang Mai,

P'Pun: "Should we go camping at Jae Son?"

Child: "Okay, let's go."

This is the origin of this bonus trip.

Day 1:

I informed my mother that I would be spending the night at Jae Son Waterfall. We arrived back home in Lampang around 4 pm and then drove out. Before leaving, my mother said...

Mother: "Bring some snacks with you, there's nothing to eat inside."

On our way, P'Pun and I were looking for a place to eat, but we didn't stop anywhere until we reached the waterfall.

Wow! There's a huge market in Muang Pan with tons of food! And a big 7-Eleven too! 555

Pun: "Didn't you say there was no food, Mom?"

Loog Pai: "That's right, haha."

We were amazed by the abundance of food, especially considering our mother's repeated warnings: "There's no food inside," "There's no food inside."

I bought a lot of food. 555

From the city center of Lampang, it takes less than an hour to reach the Jaeson Waterfall.

The entrance fee to Jae Son Waterfall is 40 baht per person and 30 baht per vehicle.

While paying, I inquired about the camping sites and tent rentals from the staff.

Upon arrival, we were concerned that the tent rental service would be closed, so we proceeded directly to the designated camping area.

Wow, the campground is packed with tents! At first, we were like, "Wow, why are there so many people!"

P'Pun: "This is a bamboo tent. The officials have set it up for people to rent."

Daughter of a bamboo: "Oh, really? Hee hee hee."

Pun: "Always making a fuss first."

Coincidentally, the day we went was a Sunday, so there weren't many people staying there. We only saw 2-3 tents.

Fortunately for us, the tent rental place was still open.

• We rented 1 tent.

• Two bed sheets

• 2 pillows

The total cost is 250 baht.

Once you have your supplies, you can choose any tent you like. It's up to you to decide which tent you want to sleep in.

After choosing our tent, we threw our belongings inside and drove to the hot spring. Before leaving, an auntie riding a motorbike approached us.

Auntie: "Would you like rice porridge, coffee, or Ovaltine tomorrow morning?"

Mr. Pun: "Can I order?"

Aunt: "Yes, I will bring it to the tent for you tomorrow at 7 am."

Wait, Mom... Didn't you say there was nothing to eat? Now we have delivery service right to the tent!

Pun: "We're having rice porridge and Ovaltine. Do you want anything, Pai?"

Daughter: "No, thank you."

After finishing our order, we drove to the hot spring.

As a native of Lamphang, I have visited this place before, but it was a long, long time ago, when I was just a child. This time around, it's a completely different experience. I love it! I can breathe fresh air, take pictures, and camp in a tent. It's just amazing.

This hot and cold spring is still popular for people to boil eggs.

The hot springs here are marked with stone signs indicating the temperature of each pool. There are also recommendations on what kind of egg you will get if you boil it at that temperature.

In certain areas of the hot spring, we can observe white, egg-white-like filaments. These are Chloroflexus aurantiacus bacteria, which can survive in oxygen-free environments and water temperatures exceeding 50 degrees Celsius. (Thank you for the information, sarisari.)

We strolled around, taking photos until the light began to fade. We then decided to head back to our tents for dinner. After dinner, it was already dark. Thankfully, the bathroom was close to our tent. If you plan to visit, don't forget to bring a flashlight!

The restrooms here are exceptionally clean. Throughout our camping experience, this is the cleanest facility we have encountered. We are highly impressed.

We went to bed early today because we had been sleeping little and waking up early for several nights.

Day 2:

We agreed to wake up early this morning to catch the sunrise at 6 am.

However, in the early morning, we heard the sound of raindrops falling on the tent, pitter-patter, pitter-patter. Oh no, it's raining! We can't go out and take pictures anymore. So, no one woke up and we continued sleeping.

It was past 7 am when the aunt who had prepared congee for P'Pun the previous day called out in front of the tent. We, who were still half asleep, heard P'Pun talking to the aunt.

P'Pun: "Oh, has the rain stopped already?"

Aunt: "Don't fall, dear."

Pun: "Oh, I hear the rain falling."

Aunt: "5555 It's just the sound of condensation."

Oh, wow! 555555

Sister Pun: "Oh, Pai, go wash your face quickly!"

Fortunately, my aunt woke me up, so I was able to make it to the hot spring to breathe in the morning air. 555

The morning air was incredibly refreshing, offering a plethora of invigorating sights.

Morning sunlight

Dew on the leaves

A spiderweb with dew drops

Refreshing.

Besides boiling eggs, people also come here to soak in the hot springs, like a Thai onsen. 555

At the end of the hot spring, there is also a hot spring soaking room service.

Another activity here is playing in the waterfall.

Yes, this is not only the Jae Son Hot Spring, but also known as the Jae Son Waterfall. We are about to take you there, but!

Mom called and said, "Honey, please buy some eggs and keep them in the fridge for me. Auntie Rวย likes to eat them."

There you go, the mother has intercepted the rising star.

We then walked over to purchase eggs at the service point. Here, they sell both small and large baskets of eggs, and customers can also purchase them by the tray.

After completing the egg-boiling mission for my mother, it was time to head to the waterfall. We drove up to a certain point, and then had to continue on foot.

The entrance is lined with shops and restaurants, but it's probably too early for any of the restaurants to be open yet.

The path to the waterfall today was just as quiet, with only me and P'Pun. It was super peaceful. 555

We ambled along the stream, venturing deeper into the waterfall's embrace. The air was refreshingly cool, and the trees provided ample shade, shielding us from the sun's warmth.

We arrived at the first level of the waterfall after a short walk.

The Jae Son Waterfall has a total of 6 tiers. The park has built a staircase for easy access, making it very convenient.

However, we only reached the second floor.

Pun: "There's not much left, we can't see much from up here."

Daughter: "That's right. The photos aren't very good. It's not really a waterfall."

P'Pun: "Let's go back. Otherwise, we won't make it back in time for our flight."

Bamboo shoots: "Okay"

And then it was time to drive back.

But this trip isn't over yet.

We have another tourist spot that we saw while driving here. We plan to stop by on our way back.

This place is called "Harvest Moon," which is a direct copy of the game's name. 555.

This is a strawberry farm that also has a restaurant and a coffee shop inside.

Essentially, it's a farm that has been transformed into a tourist attraction where people can come and take beautiful photos.

However, when we arrived, it was around noon, and the sun was a bit strong.

Seeking refuge from the sun, we bought some tea and sat down to wait while P'Pun went to take photos of the field behind the garden.

Alright, we need to hurry back to catch our flight. Let's end this trip with a refreshing iced tea from Harvest Moon.

You see, even with limited time, you can still have fun! 5555
