Itinerary

  • Doi Mae Salong

    Guests will have enough time to enjoy their breakfast at their Chiang Rai hotel before meeting your guide for the day. Together with a separate driver, we will leave approximately at around 08:30 hrs from Chiang Rai and into the Doi Mae Salong area, home to the various hill tribes still calling this part of northern Thailand their home. It may sound that Doi Mae Salong is only a mountain region in the Chiang Rai province, but it is an all-encompassing town with temples and churches, schools, factories and shops. The local eateries on Mae Salong are famous for the tasty Yunnan cuisine, prepared from farm-fresh vegetables and livestock raised there. Besides seeing all this passing by, your guide will bring you to one of the larger Akha, Yao and Lisu Hilltribe villages, explaining the differences in culture, origin and traditions. It is here where we too will enjoy a local lunch, freshly prepared at one of the leading restaurants in the area.

    The town is also the official border crossing with Thakhilek in Myanmar and the daily stream of Burmese trading their goods in Thailand is a sight to behold. The thriving market is a paradise for gem collectors, and wandering up and down the main street gives you an insight into the large variety available for sales, originating from Myanmar. In all corners along with Mae Sai’s market, you will find various end products, cut, polished and ready to be sold to those interested in its value, shape and beauty. It is time to head back to Chiang Rai after being close to 8 hours on the road, exploring the Chiang Rai region to the northern-most point. We’d expect to be back at your hotel at around 4.30 pm.

Personalize tour in chiang rai

Published on Sep, 2024

Mae (Tour Guide) and Golf (Driver) were there to pick us up early from our accommodation. She asked what we would like to do during the trip and recommended a few sites for us to visit. They stop the mini bus at local attractions (e.g., rice paddy fields) for us to view whats is it like. Mae explained a lot of the history and culture of Chiang Rai and its tourist attraction though it is not included in the the tour as one of the places that they will bring us go. Apart from that, we were brought to a local food place where they served awesome papaya salad (som tum pla ra) and mae taught us how to eat with our hands like the locals!! The chicken wings, sausages, and kanom is so damn good! Thank you to Mae and Golf!!

“ Ladies’ ChiangRai Wonderers”

Published on Jan, 2023

Yai was a great guide for our group of 3 ladies. The village experience with hill tribes including longnecks was unforgettable. Superb vistas and sweeping valleys and mountains. We also really enjoyed Tea tasting and the interesting visit to Thailand’s northern boarder with Myanmar.
