Sungai Klah Hot Spring and Teluk Intan Trip

Want a short weekend getaway? You might want to try out hot spring at Sungai Klah then. It just about an hour drives from KL after all. Or you might want to consider copying my Sungai Klah Hotspring – Menara Condong Teluk Intan – Teluk Intan “Chee Cheong Fun” one day trip itenary.

Sungai Klah Hot Spring Park started operation since December 2003 and is reputed to be one of the best managed hot spring park in Malaysia. Me and George tried it out last year and found that it is quite an ideal place to relax and de-stress, and it’s suitable to go as a family activity as well. It was quite crowded during our last visit, due to school holiday. So please don’t go on public holiday or school holiday if you want to avoid the crowd.

SUNGAI KLAH HOT SPRINGS PARK
36000 Sungkai, Perak, Malaysia
Tel: +605 441 4493
Fax: +605 438 8760

Getting there:
Take the Plus North South Highway and get out at the Sungkai toll plaza. Take the left turn towards Trolak at the T-junction after the toll plaza.

After driving about 500m from the T-junction, you should come across a turnoff on your left. There is a school at this turnoff called the Sekolah Menengah Sg Kruit.

Once you are in the turnoff, you will see many signboards that will lead you to the place.

You’ll need to purchase a ticket at the entrance, RM10 for Adult, RM8 for Children. The operation hour is from 8 am to 10 pm.

There’s a directory board showing the map so as the facilities of the park:

Hot Springs Swimming Pool

Cold water Swimming Pool ... Crowded!!

There are Hot spring Therapeutic Pools with temperature range from 40°C to 100°C too. There's a yellow plate showing the temperature of the hot spring pool. So, please consider before soaking your legs in.

We choose to try on hot spring range from 40°C - 50°C, since most of the aunty and uncle soaking their legs here.

The hot spring is really hot… After few minutes I started to sweat and my skin gone red…. Really hot!!! My blood must be circulated really fast that time...

If your family loves egg boiling activities, you'll love it here. The water temperature at this area can go up to 100 °C. The reading of the water temperature can be seen by the thermometer that is placed here. However, you’ll need to prepare your own tools for egg boiling --- Basket and eggs.. I didn’t get to boiled egg because I didn’t prepare the basket!!

For those prefer to have the privacy of soaking in a private atmosphere, try the normal or the superior private Jacuzzi. It cost RM75 per hour for a normal type and RM125 per hour for the superior type. Due to the crowd at the big hot spring pool, me and George decided to take the private Jacuzzi room. We didn’t book early, in order to not leave with disappointment; we also get the Traditional Local Massage that can guarantee us a private Jacuzzi room.

The normal private pool is quite big, and can soak like 5-7 people. So I think RM75 is quite worth as you can get privacy and enjoy the Jacuzzi as well as hot spring water… There’s also a massage room beside the pool, with bathing and changing facilities…

Wooden bed for massage...

This is the Ayurveda massage that we tried. I can’t remember the price, but I don’t suggest you to try… They use oil (I’m not sure what kind of oil, but it got a weird smell) for massage, which is really oily and made me spent a extra long bathing time to get rid of the oil…

After the refreshing hot spring Jacuzzi bath, we headed to Teluk Intan, which is just an hour drive away by taking the old road. Visited “Menara Condong” and getting around Teluk Intan town.

The operating hours of Menara Condong..

It almost dinner time, so we look for the famous “Chee Cheong Fun” at Teluk Intan. After asking around, finally we found the factory. It only operate from evening to midnight.

A lot of people lined up there already..

The machine for “Chee Cheong Fun”..

After half an hour queue, we finally got our “Chee Cheong Fun” at RM3.00 per pack!! It is different with those “Chee Cheong Fun” we have in KL, there’s no sauce for it .. It with some minced pork filling and eat together with green chilies… Yummy… Me and George finish 3 packs of it and “tapao” some home ...
