What to expect

Follow Mae Wang’s hidden trails, cool off beneath a jungle waterfall, visit a Karen village, then end the day drifting down the Mae Wang River on a traditional bamboo raft. It’s a full-day escape into real northern Thailand nature and local life, with hotel pickup and drop-off in Chiang Mai, an English-speaking guide, lunch, drinking water, life vests for rafting, and insurance included.

After pickup, head into the mountains for a guided trek through farmland and forest paths, climbing to higher ground where wide mountain views open up along the way. You’ll reach a Karen village for a genuine glimpse of daily life, learning how the community lives through farming and hearing about local culture and beliefs.

Next, continue to a nearby waterfall for lunch, time to relax, and a refreshing swim before heading back to the truck.

To finish, head to the river for bamboo rafting. Your local rafter steers with a long pole as you float past lush riverbanks, with a chance of a few fun splashes when the water is higher, then return to Chiang Mai in the late afternoon with a story you’ll be glad you made.
