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 know). However, it is pretty much unknown now, after being swallowed by a newly built 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.

There are private stalls for you to bathe using the water from the hot spring, but you will have to carry it into the stall using a bucket (pre-prepared for you). Do donate if you can, as all funds will be used for the maintenance of this place.
