15 km Stand Up Paddle Boarding down the Ping River Jungle – Chiang Mai Province, Thailand

EXPERIENCE

After pick-up from your hotel in the Chiang Mai region, transfer with your group of 8 or fewer to the paddle board shop. Bring your swimming gear, a set of dry clothes, and if possible, water shoes. At the shop, get your safety briefing on paddle boarding . Then, make the 45 minute journey northward to the beautiful Mae Ngat valley. On arrival, we set off along the Mae Ping River, whose calm waters, subject to some seasonal variations, are perfect for Paddle boarding and kayaking.

The river winds through the lushly green Mae Taeng Forest Reserve, and its smooth and slow-moving waters allow for easy maneuvering, making it perfect for beginners. Watch for wildlife on route, and get tips from your guide on navigating Class 1-currents and refining your paddling techniques. If you and the river conditions require, you can also choose to sit or kneel on your board.
When it’s time, come ashore and refuel with lunch at a rustic plantation restaurant before your trip concludes with a hotel drop-off.
