While it will be great to soak in a bathtub of warm water until all our stress goes away, some of us aren't lucky enough to have a bathtub in our homes. Thankfully for Malaysians, we don't need bathtubs because we have hot springs all around the country and most of them barely cost more than RM5 per entry and some of them are even FREE!
