The Thai Sala in the Park (also Siamese Temple) is one of two Thai Salas in the spa town. Both salas stand for the more than 100-year connection between Bad Homburg and the Thai royal family. King Rama V, also known as King Chulalongkorn, spent several weeks relaxing in the resort town in 1904. To the delight of the visit, Bad Homburg gave him the inauguration of a spring that had previously been drilled and named after him. King Chulalongkorn thanked him with a temple-like building covered with gold leaf, which was to serve as a canopy for the spring. The inauguration itself took place in 1914 without King Chulalongkorn, who died in 1910. In order to comply with the guidelines of the spa park creator Peter Josef Lenné, the first Thai Sala was not built at the source, but at its current position in the northwestern part of the spa park. Apart from Thailand itself, Bad Homburg is the only city with two Thai salas

This second Sala is a gift from the Thai King Bhumibol and was placed in the eastern part of the park near Chulalongkorn's spring. The first Sala, around 100 years older, was a gift from Rama V (Chulalongkorn) to Bad Homburg and is located further north in the spa park.

Bad Homburg is therefore the only city outside Thailand to have two Salas. (Wikipedia)

In the northern part of the fountain district is the Bad Homburg Scent and Touch Garden, also known as the Blind Garden. This was created in 1983 as one of the first of its kind. Many plants with a distinctive scent and interesting leaf surface structure are waiting to be touched.

There is a second Siam temple in the spa park. However, this one is not as often visited as the temple in the north-western part of the spa park.
