Kolam Air Panas Bentong — Attraction in Pahang

It's been eight years since my last visit to this public hot spring, and I'm pleasantly surprised by its transformation! It's clearly undergone a significant renovation, now looking much cleaner with a new resort built right next door. Even the toilets are noticeably cleaner, which is a huge improvement. There are two main pools available. One, identifiable by its stone-covered area, is definitely hotter, providing that intense thermal experience. The other, with tiles, offers a warmer, more mellow soak. Given that it's open to the public and free to access, concerns about water cleanliness might arise.

So a group of us had a lot of fun essentially behaving like pigs soaking in hot water and rubbing mud all over ourselves 🤣. It's totally free to get in and there are even showers at the side. The ongoing development in the background is an eyesore to be honest - typical of failed government projects that aren't implemented properly. The hot springs would have done much better without any development at all. Now it's surrounded by concrete and an ugly...
