As the river approaches Chiang Mai, the Mae Ping glides along peacefully. Our starting point is located 32 kilometers to the north, and the river is wide and flowing as it makes its way towards the city. The long and winding stretches of the river provide an excellent opportunity for bird watching and observing the local village life along its banks. The currents carry us south as we navigate the turns. A well-deserved lunch on the way and plenty of drinking water (provided) carries us through to the center of Chiang Mai.
We offer two different classifications for this kayaking trip: G and G+. The G trip is suitable for beginners and covers a distance of 12 kilometers, taking about 2.5 hours to complete. The G+ trip covers a longer distance of 32 kilometers and is only recommended for experienced kayakers, taking about 5 hours to complete. For those with limited time or new to the sport, we recommend the 3-hour City kayak section as the best option.
