We visited the Mae Wang river area with some friends and discovered a unique canyon area about 45 minutes driving south of Chiang Mai. The Mae Wang river canyon is located outside of the vilage of Mae Wang within the park area itself and is a haven for swimmers and rafting enthusiasts. there are many restaurants along the road side and each one has steep trails or stairways that lead down to picturesque spots along the river. Restaurants also use ingenious cable systems to deliver food and beverages down to the visitors that bath in the river canyon below. Long rafts created from large sections of Bamboo fastened together are one of the main attractions here. You can hire a boat to take you down the narrow rapids of the river dodging the boulders or you can try it yourself. An Elephant camp is also located nearby and you can take rides up through the mountain jungels. Fantastic place and easily accessible from Chiang Mai.
Goidmorning TripAdvisor’s friends.This week we made a trip from Mae Rim , into the Mae Wang Valley/river to the shortcut up to Doi Inthanon.Very nice steep winding trip, and off the main track to Doi Inthanon.Our first stop was at PTT gas station at Amazon for a coffee, after 1 hour drive.Not so far from the turn of to On Khan Canyon.After thus stop take the small inner roads to the four Boedha statues,and Ban Kat.Following the 1013 into the valley. Our next stop was at a resort/restaurant just after the first elephant camp,Plernmallee?hade our lunch,very good friendly English speaking staff.After lunch back on the iron hourse ,after 20 km if steep winding roads, turned left, direction Doi Inthanon,1284 road.also steep and winding for 30 km.Nice waterfall, Siriphum!!At the end of the road we turned left, back home to Chomtong/Mae Rim, but turn right and go to Doi Inthanon, Mae Charm 1263, nice alternative for a different kind of Mae Hong Son Loop.
Wonderful scenic views, long winding roads, cold with increasing altitude, biting midges at summit and many leeches at paths. Mist settled in at height until midday but different high altitude bird species such as mountain imperial pigeons, long tailed sibia, etc. Reasonable camping facilities and toilets at road end/summit but cold nights.
Outstanding day trip. Make sure you go out the back exit. You will get lost and it is excellent. Remember, you always have the smartphone. If it doesn’t get a signal. Just stop and ask anyone. Chiang Mai. U will find your way.
