Chae Son National Park

Driving through the rice fields we arrived at Chae Son National Park in Lampang Province. The park is home to several natural hot springs and while it may seem counterintuitive to want to soak in hot springs in the hot hot heat, it was extremely relaxing.  Wrapped in a sarong, I dipped into the steamy water surrounded by curious and smiling Thai women.  After becoming sufficiently pruned, I emerged from the hot springs and made my way over to the outdoor "massage parlor" located next to the babbling brook.  An hour later I was relaxed as relaxed could be.  On the journey home we stopped at a beautiful old teak wat and witnessed a sublime sunset over the surrounding mountains.
