How to get to the hot springs, map
There are 2 options, either on your own or buy a tour that will cost approximately 1000 baht per person. If you go by yourself, and this is 50 km from Krabi town, then you will have to pay for the entrance 90 baht + 10 baht for parking a motorcycle. For parking a car a little more expensive.

It is best to come there early, i.e. somewhere around 8-30. Because they open at this time and accordingly there will not be many people. But literally by 9 o'clock they begin to bring tourists and the people become much more.

Maybe you can :-). But it is better to go further to the waterfall, where there are a lot of people and you can bask in a warm bath.
You can undress right near the waterfall and watch for things. It's a bit inconvenient, but what can you do.
Basking in the bathroom is something like this:
Next, in fact, you begin to bask in natural warm water. It drains into a cold lake-river. Therefore, there is always an opportunity to refresh yourself. That's pretty much it. You should definitely go here. Near the springs there is a park, with lakes, which is also usually visited on the same day. Here's an article about him:
