Hot spring in Sembawang,Singapore

This video of the old Sembawang Hot Spring was taken by me in August 2009. Besides the video, I also took a few pictures.



However, after the hot spring has been renovated (2018/2019) it is now opened to the public. There is a big difference between the old and new Hot Spring. Below are some beautiful pictures taken by Ashley Tan. Hope you will enjoy it.

Dinner at the ryokan

The ryokan or Japanese Inn stay comes with 2 meals, mainly dinner and breakfast. The guests are not allowed to take photos of the hot spring bath due to privacy concern.
One day stay is about $300 to $500 per guest in a twin sharing room. It is expensive but worth every penny. The food is superb and the service is excellent. Besides, the room and hot bath is clean and refreshing.

Sembawang hot spring at Gambas Avenue

We visited the Sembawang hot spring at Gambas Ave this afternoon and brought back 2 containers
(20 litres each) of the hot spring water for our use. The spring water is good for the skin and has other health benefits.
Th place is not so crowded, perhaps 6 to 8 people soaking their legs in buckets of water. One even soak his laundry in 3 pails and washed them. The water from the tap is about 70 Celsius and has to let
it cool down before dipping the legs in it.
