What to expect

Trade Chiang Mai’s city buzz for a full-day Mae Wang adventure filled with nature and local culture. The day begins with morning pickup, then a quick stop at a local market for coffee and any essentials before heading up into the mountains. Once you arrive, set off on a scenic trek through farmland and forest trails, breathing in fresh air and soaking up that peaceful countryside vibe.

Along the way, visit a Karen village to see daily life up close and learn how the community makes a living through farming, along with their culture and beliefs. Then it’s time to refuel with lunch and slow down at a jungle waterfall. Take a refreshing swim, relax by the water, and enjoy the calm surroundings before moving on to the final highlight.

Finish with bamboo rafting on the Mae Wang River on a traditional raft made from long bamboo poles, guided by a local rafter. Water levels can bring a few small rapids, so expect playful splashes and be ready to get wet. Lunch, transfer, and an English-speaking guide are included. Roll back into Chiang Mai by late afternoon. Rain or shine, we keep the vibe fun and switch things up as needed.
