It's a small hot spring located inside an apartment complex (how unique!). In the olden days, this place was very popular, especially in the 1970s and 1980s (ask your parents, they'll know). However, it is relatively unknown now, as it has been engulfed by an apartment complex (but people can still enter to enjoy the hot spring-lah).
P.s: The suburb "Ayer Panas" was even named after it!

Also known as Kolam air panas Dusun Tua, this hot spring is located within the compound of a small surau in Hulu Langat. Do note that the areas for 👨men and 👩women are separated, which means that you won't be able to spend time with your spouse or elderly parent of the opposite gender. There are private stalls available for you to bathe using the water from the hot spring, but you will have to carry the water into the stall using a bucket that is pre-prepared for you. It is recommended that you donate if you can, as all funds will be used for the maintenance of this place.
Pro-tip: The peak hours are early in the morning, so coming after 10am would be a good idea.
