TOUR DESCRIPTION
Day 1 - Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai
This tour will begin with a pick-up from your Chiang Mai accommodation and a drive the northern route to Chiang Dao. Our first destination will be Chiang Dao, where we will see the Chiang Dao cave system. We'll take a one-of-a-kind lamp-lit tour of the cave's deepest and darkest passages. Then we'll visit the multi-tiered Thaton temple, which has spectacular views of the jungle, and the Mae Kok River valley, which leads to Chiang Rai. Before going on the afternoon activities, we will enjoy a delicious buffet lunch on the banks of the Mae Kok River. Our visit to the distinctive Karen Long Neck will be one of the highlights of the program. This Myanmarese refugee group currently resides in Thailand, and you will have the opportunity to see their community and culture up close. Many of the Long Neck ladies will demonstrate their weaving skills for you, and you'll be able to purchase some of their handcrafted items directly from the maker. It will be time to board the long tail boat for the exciting journey downriver to Chiang Rai after visiting the Long Neck village. This two-hour boat ride will take you through rural landscapes, and you can sit back and relax as the boat pilot guides you. Halfway through the river trip, we'll stop at an Akha village for a break before returning to the boat for the final leg of the journey to Chiang Rai. Our driver will meet you at the pier and transfer you to your hotel in Chiang Rai.
