Escape from the buzz of Bangkok for an adventure by bike and boat. Travel south of the city to the Mae Klong Delta area. At Damnoen Saduak start with a long-tail boat ride through a maze of canals cutting through local villages and plantations and you will be able to see how the locals live here. Visit a coconut plantation where they make palm & coconut sugar in a traditional Thai way. After visit to Damnoen Saduak floating market, the bicycles are waiting for us to continue this adventure. Ride along quiet country back roads, plantation trails and unpaved flat roads. Depending on the season, you'll see grapes, lychee, pomelo and coconuts growing in trees and plants, ready to be harvested. Besides the overwhelming nature along the Mae Klong River delta there are also a few beautiful temples. Halfway through the tour stop at a local riverside restaurant to enjoy a delicious Thai lunch overlooking the Mae Klong River. "Wat Bang Kung" dates out of the Ayutthaya period, is more than 500 years old, and is famous for the small chapel that is completely enclosed within the roots of a banyan tree, called Bot Prok Po. It's like the tree itself is the pillar of the temple and without it will fall. "Wat Bang Kae Noi", built in 1868, inside is covered with wood carving depicting the life of Buddha. Three life sized wax statues of famous Thai monks complete this remarkable temple. After the biking portion, travel back to Bangkok by minivan.

The day starts early in the morning when you get picked up from the hotel for a transfer north of Chiang Mai. First stop on the day will be a visit to the local Mae Malai market. A market on the outskirts of Chiang Mai well known as various Hill tribes in the area flock here to buy and sell their food products. Your guide will take you around the market and show you a variety of different vegetables and fruits you might have never seen or heard of before. After an insightful market visit travel further to the remote village of Baan Thong Youa by 4x4. This will be the starting point of our trek for the morning. Hike through the lush nature while getting an insight in some local knowledge about the jungle from your guide. Passing through different cultural Hill tribes living in the area as we venture further into the jungle. Soak up the fresh air and stunning views along the way. The Hill tribes who used to be famous for their opium trade have now changed their ways to crafts, farming and coffee plantations. Get an insightful story telling about the past and the present as you interact with the locals we meet. Local lunch will be eaten somewhere along the way in natural settings. After about a 2.5-hour trek, we reach a village called Baang Phong Ngan, a village inhabited by the Lahu Hill tribe. Here we can communicate with some villagers who are going about their daily tasks. This village is also the start where we change legs for bamboo. We hop onto a floating raft and float down the magical beautiful river. Watch your paddle man working to keep you safe through the corners and sometimes, if lucky, we catch some bathing buffalo's on the way. The level of the water determines the rafting time, but it usually takes around 1.5 hours. After arriving at our boat landing point, the support vehicle will be waiting to bring you back to Chiang Mai city.
This evening, enjoy a lively night in Chiang Mai, wandering through the South Gate of the old city to the traditional street food market. During the walk, you will be tempted by the delicious aromas emanating from the various food stalls and simple carts. Your guide will be on hand to introduce the many local dishes on offer. And of course, you will be able to try all the dishes you fancy. Some of the local specialities include deep fried pancakes, deep fried taro, kanom jeen (rice noodles with curry soup), kanom krok (Thai coconut pudding), noodle soup, pad Thai, and the summer favourite of sweet mango with sticky rice. You might also have an opportunity to sample the local rice whisky. After the evening's gastronomic adventure, you'll be returned to your hotel with your stomach filled with delight.
Take a memorable bike ride through Chiang Mai's outskirts. Escape from the busy streets of downtown and drive out to the countryside where you will begin cycling. First explore the ancient city of Wiang Khum Kham, a 13th-century town that was buried under mud until being excavated in the 1980s. Pedal around the atmospheric ruins learning about their origins and the local legends that surround the site. Continue along quiet roads, passing traditional teak houses and meeting friendly locals on the way. Stop in a grassy parkland to refresh with a snack of fresh tropical fruits and a cool drink. Then continue cycling to Ban Tawai. Commonly referred to as 'The Village of Handicrafts', this small community is filled with workshops making traditional Thai crafts. Witness the production of items such as silverware, wood carvings, and more. Then ride along the banks of the Ping River to see fishermen at work on the river and enjoy the lush green surroundings.
