Overview

The capital of the north requires little introduction; blissfully located among mountains, valleys and fertile grounds, Chiang Mai brings forward a sense of Thailand in a more docile way than its big brother Bangkok. A myriad of rivers, flowing along the foothills, assure a constant flow of water for agricultural means with the Mae Ping taking on the supply for the Chiang Mai region on its account. A calm stream that hugs the city’s central districts, a farmer’s life along the Ping River will pass the revue during this 2.5 hour excursion is the end station of this 2.5 hour boating trip. Topped up with a local bowl of Khao Soy at a local farm, and you have an insight in a farmer’s life.

Itinerary

  • Ping River

    We start this short yet sweet excursion with a short transfer to the Chaimongkol docking area of an exhilarating 45-minutes cruise over the Mae Ping River. Chiang Mai life from the river takes on a completely new persona once you had a taste of the city. The Rose of the North’s Mae Ping River splits the modern part with the more local side where temples, old wooden houses and local communities still thrive. With modern times interspersed along the river banks, the overall colorful scenery and witness the lifestyle of the local people is something that has retained over time. The cruise ends with a visit to a local farmhouse with its own herbs, vegetables and fruit gardens. On the farm you observe yourself how the cultivation of jasmine rice and a variety of herbs for use both in medicine and cookery are tended to in traditional fashion. Guided by the local family, visitors truly get a feel and taste of how former generations infused their knowledge in the current farming life cycle. A selection of seasonal fresh fruit is there to be tried out in combination with the taste of lemon-grass and other herb juices. You should not leave Chiang Mai without tasting the local dish, Khao Soy, a smooth, spicy, noodle in curry soup. Return transfer from the farm to your downtown Chiang Mai hotel is included.

Fabulous!

Published on Mar, 2024

Really enjoyed it. They were organized, welcoming and put together a fabulous, informative tour finishing with an amazing lunch. Don't miss out on that part! It was step 14 of the rice planting process!!! Our guide Kao was the best!

Beautiful river trip

Published on Mar, 2024

This was a wonderful way to spend 2.5 hours. So peaceful, so many beautiful trees along the riverside. The captain was very knowledgable and helpful. When we got to the farm for lunch, he explained about all the different herbs in the garden and how they could medically help you. The dinner was so delicious as was the lemongrass tea and ice cream. No one was trying to sell you anything and there were just 7 of us guests. A very authentic trip, thoroughly recommended ❤️

A good value trip with a light meal included

Published on Mar, 2024

The trip was about two hours and included a boat trip to and from the farm - a good meal was served with ice cream desert and a soft drink followed by the return trip - a trip up the river with food for less than $20’per head - What’s not to like - if you have a morning to spare - worth a visit.

Great river trip

Published on Feb, 2024

Well organised and prompt pick up. Lovely river boat ride. Stop at farm for lunch could have been longer. A bit rushed. Great value for money. Recommend

Relaxing trip with lunch

Published on Nov, 2022

Khao Soy and ice cream were delicious. Interesting little farm. No issues with pick up and drop off at hotel.
