Step by Step

Embark on a relaxing experience on the Mae Ping River, a unique way to see Chiang Mai from a different perspective. The cruise starts at the pier next to the Wat Chai Mongkol temple and cruises upstream, away from the urban noise and into rural landscapes where life goes by at a different pace.

Along the way, you'll see charming everyday scenes: children jumping into the water from dangling tyres, traditional houses on the riverbank, and lush greenery flanking both banks. It's a perfect way to unwind and soak in the serenity of the surroundings.

The journey culminates at the Thai Farmer's House, a place where you will learn about local agricultural practices: rice cultivation, herbs, fruits and sustainable fishing. This place promotes a healthy, chemical-free way of life and allows visitors to connect with nature and Thai traditions.

During the visit, you will enjoy a refreshing fruit or herbal drink and a selection of freshly prepared fruits. For coffee lovers, freshly brewed local coffee and other beverages are available for purchase.

With frequent hourly departures and the option of transfer from centrally located hotels, this cruise is ideal for those looking for an authentic, comfortable experience with a cultural touch.
