Step away from the urban hustle and find solace as you float along the serene waters of the Mae Ping River. Allow yourself to be captivated by the river's ever-shifting scenery: charming teakwood residences, idyllic countryside vistas and the infectious laughter of children joyfully leaping into the water.
Visit a nearby farmer's home and witness the cultivation of fragrant Jasmine rice and an array of herbs prized for their culinary and medicinal applications. Indulge in the flavours of the season with fresh, local fruits and rejuvenating beverages infused with lemongrass and other aromatic herbs. This river sojourn promises not just relaxation, but an authentic immersion into the rhythms of river life and Thai agriculture.
We enjoyed the boat ride. Our boatman cum guide was kind, polite and fun. Highly recommended for a leisurely way to spend the afternoon.
Cheaper booking via Pelago than direct. Though no email was received for the pick up request, good thing we had a car rented that day. Ride was pleasant, though no guides on board. Cafe by the river stop midway was enjoyable with a brief herb show and tell, and unlimited ice cream/ sorbets and herbal tea. Cute souvenirs are also available. We took the 4pm trip so had both a bonus daytime and nighttime experience going to and fro.
