Chiang Mai: Mae Ping Cruise And Farmer’s House Visit

A very peaceful river trip - great way to see outside of the old city. The meal and ice cream at the herb farm were delicious.

Absolutely loved this trip! From the beginning service at the meeting point to our fabulous, informative guide it was a positive experience. Loved our lunch and the variety of juices, and learning about the different vegetables and herbs. Highly recommend!

A relaxing and hassle free trip. The ice cream and tamarind drink treat at the Thai Farm House is great!

Very pleasant experience good location on the day with no one else fishing. Guide was excellent helping, having fun and talking with the guests.

Loved this relaxed and informative tour on the river with a very experienced and knowledgeable operator. Highly recommended tour.

What a lovely experience with great value for money.A 45 minute leisurely trip down the river to see the city from a different perspective. A quick walk through the herb garden that was labelled in English with all of the plant benefits. Great food, complimentary juice drink plus bottled water and some beautiful ice cream or sorbet. So good. Clean toilet. Just a really lovely way to spend a couple of hours in Chiang Mai. They even had a pick up and drop off service.

It was a leisurely and enjoyable experience for a couple of hours although, as boat rides down a river go, don't expect that there exists much "sightseeing" of buildings / structures on the embankment. It's simply just a pleasant trip on a boat. The lunch served was quite fine (and the ice cream was excellent). The Thai lady at the departing wharf was fantastic and helpful. Incidentally, if the reader happens to require the services of a driver (private vehicle and English speaking), I recommend that you contact Khun Wan on +66 (0)62 942 4965 or WhatsApp +66629424965 who can take you on sightseeing tours / places of interest, etc. She has a wonderful sense of humour and is quite engaging. All you have to do is work out your itinerary and the rest is easy !!!

Your included visit to farm but it was not a farm . Just a food shop with some small herbal plants for show .

Enjoyed this cruise along the river & would recommend if you want just to slow down for a couple of hours. Great that it offers hotel pick up and return.

Convenient - value for money Good commentary

We enjoyed our river cruise and farmer house visit. The cruise was leisurely, allowing us to enjoy the views of fisherman and Thai riverbank homes. The farmer house herbs were labeled to read the name of the herb and the symptoms the herb would alleviate. Very interesting! We had a nice lunch, ice cream and a drink before cruising back to the starting point. Very enjoyable few hours!

Hotel transfers included, we were lucky to only have 4 on our 2pm tour the one before and after were very busy. It was about an hour each way in the water, it was not so much a farm but a herb garden but well maintained and the guide explained what they were used for. We chose the tour with a meal which was very nice, it also included a juice and Ice cream. There is a lovely swing and clean toilets.

Great river trip, very informative guide/ boat driver and farm was great!!! Even got a ride back to the hotel which was unexpected

This was a lovely experience, floating along taking in the view. It was as described- no commentary but didn’t expect one. Didn’t have the meal. The herb garden is interesting and the setting is relaxing. I recommend for a great way to spend a few hours. Kids on board seem to enjoy.

We sat in a boat and floated down the river. There was no information provided about what we were seeing or the history of the river/people etc. At the farmers house we were shown the plants and told of what they were used for-that was about 10 minutes and we ate ice cream and then returned in the boat back to the start. The best part was learning about all the different plants and their uses.

Very nice experience and nice guide/captain. Told about all sorts of things and then some. Also the garden with herbs was nice not a very big tour but really a few plants with explanations of what they ,they use. Have a drink and a delicious ice cream on what was all included in the price. We were neatly picked up at our hotel and brought back.

A pleasant and informative experience along the Ping River

The river cruise consists of an hour drive to the farm. Arriving at the farm, the guide explains that the farm is actually the home of the farm. Some aromatic plants adorn a small building. For animals, it is the guide who sticks to it by making us an imitation of cow and rooster cries. The only positive will be the ice served in the building, excellent. But 2 hours boat for ice cream is expensive.
