Phra Ruang Hot Spring according to legend, during the Sukhothai era, King Phra Ruang visited this forest while hunting. He saw a beautiful junglefowl and ordered hunters to follow it. Since there was no fire to cook food, the king is said to have blessed a nearby pond to become hot water, which became known as “Bueng Phra Ruang Sap” or later, Phra Ruang Hot Spring.

The site has since been developed as a wellness tourism destination, with landscaped areas suitable for relaxation.
