Dozens of locals flocked to a hot spring to warm themselves during the recent cold weather in northern Thailand.

The visitors were filmed on December 10 at the natural phenomenon in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand, where temperatures have dropped in some parts to -1C.

At least four residents in the north of the country have died from the cold snap caused by a high-pressure system from China.

The hot spring manager Saraphee Sila said: ''Winter is the most popular time because people want to feel warmer. This is a very refreshing way to do it.''

Krichsayam Khongsatree, head of Doi Inthanon National Park in Chiang Mai's Chom Thong district, said temperatures in the area had fallen to -1 degree Celsius while frost, stemming from the freezing air, covered flowers and leaves, exciting tourists.
