Flight of the Gibbon

Created by a bunch of guys keen to enable everyone access to the rainforest in the most exciting way possible, this unique system enables you to view jungle life from a perspective previously reserved for a select group of researchers. You'll go you high into the canopy using an ingenious series of tree houses, platforms, cables, and sky bridges for about a two-kilometer adventure. You'll zip line easily from tree to tree on a spectacular and gradual downhill course, taking time to linger in your favorite places, soaking up the fragrance, clean air and animal life. A safety team accompanies you and teaches you how to move through the trees with the speed and grace of a young gibbon.   More Info

Early Morning Life

An introduction to Buddhism is the theme for the first thisearly morning activity, one that takes visitors to Wat Srisoda, at the foot of Doi Suthep. Once there, you will see Buddhist monks having their morning prayer and making the traditional Buddhist food offering - a great way to experience a bit of traditional Thai culture is by offering food to the monks yourselves. From here, you are off to the morning market to experience how the people of Chiang Mai carry on their daily lives with a rickshaw ride through Chiang Mai Town.

Mae Sa Elephant Camp

The Mae Sa Elephant Camp is located about 27 kms north of Chiang Mai and is a wonderful place to see these amazing mammals receive their daily training, perform traditional duties amidst the trees of the forest and take baths in the cool, nearby streams. This tour also includes a visit to a large orchid nursery and a butterfly farm in the vicinity.

Kantoke Dinner

A great way to spend an evening in Chiang Mai, this trip offers you a chance to enjoy a traditional meal prepared in the Kantoke (northern Thailand) Thai style. Guests are seated on floor cushions with an array of classical dishes arranged before them. Entertainment will include the traditional Finger, Sword and Candle dances as well as the Ramwong, for which all guests are invited and encouraged to participate!

The evening concludes with performances from the Akha, Yao, Lahu, Meo and Karen Hill Tribes.

Hilltribes of Chiang Mai

If the Kantoke Dinner has given you an appetite to learn more about ethnic minorities and hill tribes around Chiang Mai, then why not head out and explore the North of Thailand and the home of the infamous Golden Triangle. Immerse yourself in the beautiful scenery and breathtaking views as you visit and learn about the fascinating and colourful people who live in these remote areas on one of our Chiang Mai tours.
