Kampung Panchor Hot Spring — Attraction in Borneo

Kampung Panchor Hot Spring which is located at Kampung Panchor Dayak, 40km from Kuching City is surrounded by forest and nature, offering serene and calm atmosphere.The hot spring which is located at Kampung Panchor Dayak is accessible via Kuching-Serian Road. The junction to the site is on the right side just after the Tapah Town. The hot spring which is managed by the local community is open to the public daily from 7.00 am till 10.00pm. A nominal entrance fee of RM 5 is charge for Local adult ,Rm 1 for Children over 12yrs and Rm 15 for Non Malaysians.However this rate will be adjusted from 1/3/2023 to Rm 7,Rm 2 & Rm 20 respectively.From the ticket booth, a plank walk was built from the entrance connecting the various hot pools. The temperature in the Hot Spring is about 42 degree Celsius - really Hot.Hence it is advisable to dip your hand or leg into the Hot Spring First to get a feel of the temperature before dipping your whole body. I am pleased to notice a few improvements at this Place during my recent visit compared to 6 years ago.The access road to this place had been tarred and toilets and changing rooms are at this New.Water is much cleaner now.However Facilities here are all very basic and do not expect a Japanese Onsen here or compared to those Resort Hot Spring.If I may suggest it will be really Good if the management can clean the Green Moss growing on the wooden plank in the Pool ( don’t know why Green Moss grow ) as this is Slippery and can be Hazardous.Also there is a Cafe but close on Every Monday hence unsure what is available.Facilities can be further improved like more Food Stalls as you will be Hungry after Hot Spring & also on the access road which is very narrow and so many twists and turns.Really doubtful if a 30 seaters Tourist Bus can access .I am positive the Current State Government with Record State Revenue can provide more immediate support and make this another renowned Tourist Attraction in Sarawak .I must compliment the Two Exeptional Friendly and Entertaining (not much Entertainment here & No Service for Mobile Phone )Staff there Mr Sahap and Mr Gradison.They really made Our Days. Worth a Visit if time...

Amazing place to go in the early morning or late at night. I love going when it rains. They have pools ranging from warm to very hot. I suggest starting with the coolest pool first. They also have cold showers which are great when you get too hot. Bring some fruits to stay hydrated or coconut water. If you eat Dabai. The pools are the perfect temperature to soak the fruit in for eating. The spring is all Natural with lovely wood structure built around it. Locals 4rm for entrance while foreigners pay 16rm. Which I think is a bit absurd to be honest, but still a great option nonetheless. Place is very quiet and can hear the sounds of nature. Usually not that crowded at all....

It's my favorite hot spring I've been to in Sarawak. Last trip to Kuching, I came here almost every day. I was dealing with a slipped disc in my lower back, and I truly believe it was a big help in my healing process. It was only really crowded when it was a public holiday. 5 different areas with varying temperatures.

I recently visited two times during my trip to Kuching again. The first time, the water was a little dirtier than I remembered, but the second time was very clean.

Very friendly staff. They have bathrooms and two showers. They're also open everyday. It doesn't get much better than this. I will definitely be coming back here a few more times during...
