Te Teuk Pus Hot Spring is located in front of Phnom Te in Phnom Te
village, Sangke Sap commune, Oral district, about 60 kilometers west of
the provincial town. Hot springs are rare in Cambodia. Te Teuk Pus is
100 meters in diameter. The surface of the water, which comes from six
sources and smells like sulfur or limestone, is 80 square meters. The
water temperature is 70 degrees Celsius.
The entire site covers 5
hectares and is full of tall grass, Kok (a kind of reed) and red rock.
Local villagers, who are members of the Kuoy minority hill tribe,
believe that the hot spring is effective for curing all kinds of
illnesses and skin diseases, as well as sorcery. Washing one's face with
water from the spring is believed to bring good luck.
