Morning steam rises from the Sg Lalang hot pools like a low-slung cloud daring you to step out of the city and into quieter country air. Walkways of concrete and board lead to two mineral-fed ponds; one broad and forgiving, one narrow and much hotter, where the water seems to push heat into your bones.
