History of Thap Ba Hot Springs Center

In 1994, the Central Vietnam Division of Hydrogeology and Engineering Geology conducted an underground boring exploration in Dac Loc Village, Vinh Phuong Commune, Nha Trang City, and discovered a source of mineral water.

The mineral water could not be canned since it was hot and salty. The drilling holes were plugged in so that the fields under cultivation would not be harmed. Unexpectedly, a mine of inorganic mineral mud appeared in 1995. During the rainy season, the fields were inundated with mud, which killed the crops. Some health-care executives and businessmen came up with the idea of using mineral water and mud for medical treatments.

Hot Springs features in Thap Ba Center

Hot mineral water with pure chloride and sodium silica is extracted from a depth of 100 meters underground. Mineral compounds in the water reach the body at 38–40 °C, providing a calming and refreshing sensation. Gout, rheumatism, and neuritis can all be helped by drinking mineral water. The mineral mud is inorganic, containing chloride sodium silica as its major component, as well as several antimicrobial dietary minerals. It's frequently used as a face mask for skin rejuvenation and acne treatment.
