“KAYAK G” 3-Hour Chiang Mai River Kayak Run

As the river approaches Chiang Mai, the River Ping flows serenely. Our starting point is located 13 km to the north, and the river is wide and tranquil as it meanders toward the city. The long, sweeping bends make this area ideal for beginners, and the opportunity for birdwatching and glimpses of local village life along the riverbank enhance the experience.

This kayaking trip is offered in two classifications: G and G+. The G trip is tailored for novice paddlers, covering a distance of 12 km and lasting approximately 3 hours. The more challenging G+ trip covers a distance of 32 km and is designed for experienced kayakers, lasting about 5 hours. For those with limited time and looking to ease into the sport, the 3-hour kayak trip is the perfect choice.
