Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai Cycling Holiday

Your first ride will start from the Bua Thong Waterfall, where you’ll embark on a short trek to get you warmed up and loosen your legs. Then you will hop on your bike and cycle through the quiet Thai countryside, past rice paddies and canals before arriving at Mae Ngad Reservoir, where you can relax by the lake.

After taking a look around Chiang Dao Caves it will be time to get on your bike. Take in the natural beauty of the limestone cliffs and fields as you cycle and meet the local tribes including Akha, Lisu and Palaung that you’re likely to encounter.

Today is the most scenic day of the trip. Starting in Fang, you’ll cycle along the Mae Kok river and pass the border to Myanmar, ending the day at a hotel on the riverfront, where you can relax with a cold beer.

Today you will take your bikes on a long tail boat across the Mae Kok River to natural hot springs where you can go for a swim. Temples and Buddhism forms a rich part of Thailand’s culture so its only fitting you visit one whilst you’re here. Wat Phrakaew is one of the most important in Chiang Rai, and used to be home to the renowned Emerald Buddha before it moved to Bangkok. You’ll also see Wat Rong Khun, otherwise known as the White Temple. From here it will be time to say goodbye or you can choose to extend your trip.
