Location
The spring is southwest of Ban Na Wong Duan at Wat Nam Phut. From the H12 / H2055 junction take the H2055 south towards the Chulaphon Dam. Just after 1km turn west (right) to Ban Na Wong Duan, drive through the village and continue for about 1.5km to the wat.
Description
This is a series of small vauclusian springs in a wooded area which is maintained by monks as a wat. In June 1999 Smart recorded a total of 0.3 cumecs of crystal clear water resurging, but that no bedrock was visible and the water emerges from sand boils on the bottom of pools. In March 2008 the main resurgence was seen to be from bedrock, but the hole would be too small for a diver. Another spring just out side the temple grounds has been capped for use as a water supply. The local monks suggested to Dean Smart that the water flow increases in the dry season and decreases in the rainy season.
