CANOEING

Boating down the Mae Kok River gives guests an alternative way to see the countryside and observe ‘river –life’. Four seater Canadian canoes and lifejackets are available for hire. The river is fast flowing and a canoe trip would involve travelling downstream with the canoeists being collected by barge or vehicle. It is highly recommended that one of our trained instructors accompany the trip.

Charges: Unaccompanied: 400 Baht for the first hour and 200 Baht per hour thereafter.

Instructor accompanied: 600 Baht for the first hour and 300 Baht per hour thereafter.

If canoeing seems too much like hard work, BAMBOO RAFTING or RIVER BARGE TRIPS are always an alternative. Half day or full day rafting or barge tours for up to 8 people per raft/barge can be arranged. You embark at the resort and gently float downstream to a convenient landing site where you are be collected and returned to the resort by vehicle, or you can journey all the way to Chiang Rai. You can also take a canoe along with you for those who wish to be a little more active on the way.
Prices (on application) will be depend on number of participants

In the summer months the Mae Kok may be flowing at a rate which may limit river activities. At the end of the dry season (April and May) the low river stage may also restrict river transportation. For instance during normal flow stages a journey from Ban Thaton to Chiang Rai usually takes about 3 to 4 hours, but at low stages can be up to 5 hours.
