On the way down from Tangkuban Perahu and Sari Ater Hot Spring, you will pass by Kawah Domas, another hot spring where is not so well-known to the public due to this place is much smaller and quiet. If not because of our driver pointed out this place, we would miss out the color faded sign board and the little cottage at the road side. Driver said it's free entrance and people enjoy boiling eggs in the hot spring water. Well, since we were there already so might as well just go down to have a look.

We checked at the signboard and noticed that entrance fee is required, they charged Rp20,000/pax!!
Our driver gave us a sign of 'not-to-go-in' since it used to be free of charge and now the fee is so freaking expensive! So we get back into the car and continued our journey to hunt for food to feed our hungry soul.
We met another 3 Chinese girls who took the same flight with us at LCCT. We exchanged phone number while waiting for Air Asia to arrange accommodation for all passengers due to flight cancelled. (to check on Bandung airport operation hours, please refer to my previous post)
They visited the scenery spots in Bandung one day earlier than us. We received SMS from them after they finished their day tour, warning us to be extra careful when we reach there.
We met again at Bandung International Airport's departure hall and we shared our experience in Bandung, there we found out the reason they warned us to be extra careful was because of they encountered a big group of men, who also called themselves as the 'official tour guide', followed closely behind them when they walking to the hot spring at Kawah Domas. The road is narrow and only one way to go in and out to the hot spring, it could be difficult for 3 girls to escape if anything happens! They felt uncomfortable and scared so they quickly left the place.
Just a little advise, when you are travel alone or travel in a group of only girls, always put your own safety at first place. Exploring new places is always fun, but do not risk your own safety. Always be alert and look around the surrounding.
Let's go back to the topic - Sari Ater Hot Spring :)
Well, another tourist spot where you need to pay for the entrance fee Rp22,000/pax, parking 18,000/car and tips Rp2,000.
If you have been to Sungkai Hot Spring, Perak, Malaysia, this place is 99% similar to Sungkai. Most of the visitors are local and Malay, you can do picnic here or jump into the pool to enjoy the hot spring water heat. Same thing, there was one 'tour guide' followed closely behind us.
