Thailand Travel - Sightseeing tours Chiang Rai - Elephant Adventure, Hilltribes and Mae Kok River Trip.
The Mae Kok River, 80 miles long, running through the heart of Chiang Rai,
is said to be one of the most beautiful and unspoiled rivers of the world. It
flows gently along jungle banks and towering mountain cliffs. Along its route
lie several hilltribes and jungle-tribes of Chiang Rai. The people are
friendly and the life aboard the raft relaxing.
The many hilltribes who inhabit the area have long trudged the mountain
passes between northern Thailand and their home villages in Burma and China.
Each tribe is district, with its own culture, religion, language, art, and
dress and on today's journey you will have the opportunity to meet an array of
cultures.
First on this private tour you will leave the hotel for Mae Kok boat trip
by long-tail boat to the Karen Hilltribe Village, where you start two hours
elephant trekking up and down hill into the woods, to a Yao Hilltribe Village.
Lunch will be provided and your private guide can give you a greater insight
into today's touring.
After lunch visit Yao and Akha Hilltribes, both fascinating people. Then
trek to a waterfall, where you can swim and take a short rest. Return to your
hotel, enroute visit Chiang Rai Handicrafts Center.
