Maehongson Tour02: 2 Day Adventure to Salawin River

2 Day Adventure to Salawin River – Where the River Meets the Nature

Explore Mae Hong Son’s untamed frontier, led by the force of nature herself.

Tour Overview

Are you ready for a tour that trades comfort zones for wild wonder? The 2 Day Adventure to Salawin River plunges you into Northern Thailand’s rawest terrain—a place where mountain peaks give way to jungle gorges, and a mighty river writes the boundary between two nations. From forest trails to border boat rides, this tour is packed with discovery, motion, and moments you’ll never find behind glass windows.

Day 1: Kicks off from Chiang Mai and heads straight into the highlands. Climb toward Doi Inthanon National Park, Thailand’s highest peak, where alpine air and sweeping vistas set the tone. Explore the revered King and Queen Pagodas, then descend to Wachiratarn Waterfall, a powerful cascade crashing through jungle rock. After lunch, the real adventure begins at Ob Luang National Park. Trek the 1-hour nature trail through massive canyons and prehistoric relics, feeling the textures of time underfoot. By evening, reach Maesariang, a small riverside town wrapped in hills, where you’ll overnight at the River House Resort, resting near the flow of the Yuam River.

  • Pickup from Chiang Mai hotel (08.00 – 08.30 am)
  • Drive to Doi Inthanon, explore Thailand’s highest forest peak
  • Visit King and Queen Pagodas, standing tall in cloud gardens
  • Feel the power of Wachiratarn Waterfall, deep in jungle terrain
  • Enjoy lunch at a mountain village restaurant
  • Hike the Ob Luang Nature Trail, through ancient rock canyons and river gorges
  • Arrive at Maesariang, check-in at River House Resort, dinner by the river

Day 2: Is the crown jewel. After breakfast, drive into the depths of Ban Mae Sam Leab, where life still moves with the river. Climb into a long-tail boat and set off down the Salawin River—a 2-hour glide along towering jungle walls and tribal outposts. This isn’t a tourist loop; it’s a living frontier where the forest whispers and the current guides you forward. Pass into Sop Moie District, the sacred confluence of the Moei and Salawin Rivers, then step onto shore for a rustic riverside lunch. Finish with a visit to Phrathat Jom Mon Temple, perched like a watchtower above the Mae Sariang valley. Let the views burn into your memory before heading back to Chiang Mai by nightfall.
