Vietnam's thermal resorts
The hot springs in Vietnam are numerous, numbering over two hundred. The springs vary in temperature and in the composition of the water, which contains a variety of mineral impurities. Unfortunately, treatment with thermal waters in Vietnam is widespread rather poorly. Therefore, therapeutic complexes are built around only a few of the springs. The rest are just open access in the spurs of the mountains, and you can bathe in many of them yourself.
