Sembawang Hotspring


Sembawang hot spring is opened daily from 7 am to 7pm. It was previously known as Kampong Ayer Panas, which means ‘hot water’ village. It is located off Gambas Avenue. You could park your vehicle in the nearby housing estate and walk over. Alternatively, you could take public transport.

There are three water points for the public to use. Many believed that the sizzling hot water has healing properties which can rid people of aches and pains.

I visited the hotspring on 27 Jul 2006 at about 1 pm in the afternoon. There were only 3 men at that point of time. My wife and I enquired about the usefulness of soaking in the water. An elderly Chinese told us that he has been there everyday. He would pour the water into the bath tub (somebody must have left it there) and when it turned lukewarm, he would soak in it. He has found that his blood circulation has improved and he was able to sleep well in the night. Despite his age ( I guess around 65), he looked radiant and healthy.

There were many pails and chairs. We poured some water into the pails and soaked our feet for about half an hour. Nothing sensational or different. I supposed we have to do regularly over a period of time. One advice though is that you must visit during the day. There are lots of mosquitoes in the night.
