Chiang Mai recently welcomed its first Japanese-style onsen at RarinJinda Wellness Spa (053-247-000, www.rarinjinda.com), not far from the city center. Each of the spa’s three pools offers different benefits: the hot spring pool features concentrate from Japan’s renowned Gero hot springs and is designed to help you de-stress by relaxing muscles and improving blood circulation. The soda carbonated pool also helps with blood circulation while cleansing and promoting healthy skin. Finally, the cold pool is designed to tighten your pores and refresh your skin. Through Apr 30, entry is B1,500 (normal rate B3,000), which includes the use of the three pools, rainforest steam sauna and up to three hours at the spa lounge, which serves herbal tea and snacks like sticky rice and mango.
