Itinerary
Start your journey at Wat Chai Mongkol jetty, where you'll board a traditional boat and cruise north along the Mae Ping River. As city bridges fade from view, the river opens up to lush green landscapes and tree-lined banks.
Opt for the One-Way Trip if you’re looking for a quick scenic escape, ending at the Thai Farmer’s House, where you’ll be treated to an herbal drink and seasonal fruit platter or premium ice cream. For a more leisurely experience, the Round-Trip Cruise offers two hours of relaxation, allowing you to fully unwind and immerse in the tranquil river ambiance. For food lovers, the Mae Ping River Trip + Khao Soi is the ultimate choice. At the Thai Farmer’s House, savor a bowl of rich, creamy Khao Soi paired. Explore the gardens where rice fields, herb gardens, and fruit orchards flourish without chemicals.

Traveler reviews
Loved this relaxed and informative tour
Loved this relaxed and informative tour on the river with a very experienced and knowledgeable operator. Highly recommended tour.
Faultless experience from start to finish.
What a lovely experience with great value for money.A 45 minute leisurely trip down the river to see the city from a different perspective. A quick walk through the herb garden that was labelled in English with all of the plant benefits. Great food, complimentary juice drink plus bottled water and some beautiful ice cream or sorbet. So good. Clean toilet. Just a really lovely way to spend a couple of hours in Chiang Mai. They even had a pick up and drop off service.
AN ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE !
It was a leisurely and enjoyable experience for a couple of hours although, as boat rides down a river go, don't expect that there exists much "sightseeing" of buildings / structures on the embankment. It's simply just a pleasant trip on a boat. The lunch served was quite fine (and the ice cream was excellent). The Thai lady at the departing wharf was fantastic and helpful. Incidentally, if the reader happens to require the services of a driver (private vehicle and English speaking), I recommend that you contact Khun Wan on +66 (0)62 942 4965 or WhatsApp +66629424965 who can take you on sightseeing tours / places of interest, etc. She has a wonderful sense of humour and is quite engaging. All you have to do is work out your itinerary and the rest is easy !!!
Mae Ping River Cruise
Your included visit to farm but it was not a farm . Just a food shop with some small herbal plants for show .
An enjoyable gentle cruise along the river
Enjoyed this cruise along the river & would recommend if you want just to slow down for a couple of hours. Great that it offers hotel pick up and return.
