Chiang Mai · 2-DAY EXPERIENCES
The good 2-day experiences fill up in high season and the great ones go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
A 2-day Chiang Mai jungle trek with a Karen overnight, rescued elephants, waterfall swim, and bamboo rafting on the Mae Wang River.
“Great experience overall. Loved the trekking part, the nature and all activities. I'd recommend improving the beds for the night. But overall an authentic experience for living the nature and the outdoors of Chiang Mai”
Wake to elephants, learn humane elephant care, stay in a forest homestay, swim at Mae Wang Waterfall, then bamboo raft the river.
“I truly can’t say enough about this tour. A huge thank you to the entire staff, especially Sublu, Hot, Nop, Sak, and Totu. Even though they work in different groups within the same company, they worked together seamlessly and made everything feel effortless. I twisted my ankle before arriving, and they went above and beyond to care for me—constantly checking in, accommodating my needs, and even transporting me by truck so I didn’t have to overwalk. From our funny and amazing host Sak who prepared our meals, to our happy driver, to guides Nop, Hot, and Totu, and especially Sublu, one of the elephant caretakers who spent nearly an hour…”
Chiang Mai jungle trek with Karen farmlands, White Karen village overnight, waterfall swims, and campfire stargazing for $96 in 2 days.
“Kong our guide was fantastic, he made the trip so easy and interesting too. Saw some great sites along the way, waterfalls etc. Was very enjoyable and relaxing and great way to experience the jungle. It was very strenuous journey, we travelled with some young adults and we all felt very safe and in good hands. I would not recommend this trip for anyone who wasn’t fit and who can’t cope with a lot of uphill climbs or hiking for @6hrs each day . Accomodation was very basic but adequate and all part of the unique experience. This 2 day trip is a must do if you are physically able…”
2 days in Chiang Mai: trek to Tard Mok waterfall, tube the Mae Taeng River, swim-slide at Saa Gee, ethical elephant viewing.
“Awesome tour with Bang! He’s a great tour guide and the activities were fun. Dorm rooms were very comfortable and clean too.”
Go off-the-map on a Chiang Mai 2-day, 1-night non-tourist jungle trek with elephant care, jungle cooking, bamboo rafting, and a hill-tribe stay.
“My friend and I loved this excursion! It was adventurous, unexpected, and showed us the beauty of Thailand. The activities gave us the joy of backpacking without the difficulty. Our favorite part was the overnight stay with a local family, in cabin houses with grand mountain views. We also loved bamboo rafting. A few things to know: * All meals are provided and they are tasty, with big portions. They can even accommodate vegetarians! * Transportation is rugged and includes standing in the bed of a truck as it navigates muddy, bumpy dirt roads — sometimes you may have to hold on tight or get out and push the truck…”
Private 2-day Chiang Mai hill tribe tour with Karen bamboo stilt homestay, Hmong village visit, and flexible cultural experiences.
“I did a 9 day private photography tour lead by Pat.”

“Best elephant tour and nature experience we have tried.”
A private 2-day Chiang Rai trip from Chiang Mai with an art historian guide, White Temple and Black House, hill tribes, Golden Triangle, and a Laos boat ride.
“The itinerary was perfectly planned with a very good tour guide. The only shortfall is the accommodation which is below expectation.”
A 4-hour Chiang Mai Muay Thai class with hotel pickup, rice-field setting, gear, and lunch, in a small group. Fast, intense, beginner-friendly.
“Very intense. Very fast. I like it. I need more practice but I had a great time for my first visit. Thanks!”

“Wonderful tour! Friendly and kind guide Anan and driver Oum .. A lot of information and curiosity👍 book this tour 🇹🇭”
Two days of backcountry off-road scooter riding in Chiang Mai, river crossings, remote village BBQ, and mountain viewpoints for $266.
“It was an amazing experience with Jay. Not only is this a memorable trip, but also eye-opening to chat and listen about Thailand local life. Evening BBQ hot pot was delicious. I went with zero scooter experience, however, at least a little bit is recommended because the road is steep and curvy. I recommend to bring gloves, ankle and knee protection for your own safety. In this trip you will level up your scooter skills from novice to intermediate per 24 hours ;)”
Two days in Doi Inthanon with waterfalls, a Karen village overnight, and a sunrise hike to Kew Mae Pan, plus clear night skies.
“The trip is not yet fully finalized. For example, the description of what to bring is not comprehensive enough. This could certainly be improved. The first day was not 100% well organized. We arrived at our overnight accommodation around 2 p.m. Since there was not much to do in the area, this was disappointing. The guide was also missing for several hours. On the second day, we watched the sunrise, but we were too late for the first rays of sunshine. Afterwards, we went on a hike, which was definitely good! Finally, we went on a few more excursions and had a coffee break. The guide himself is very spontaneous…”
2-day Chiang Mai tour with bamboo rafting, waterfall treks, Karen village time, and elephant sanctuary care, feeding, and bathing.
“We did the 2-days trip with my gf and it was absolutely amazing. We started with Bamboo rafting which was nice and refreshing. Our guide Chin was fun and with a super positive attitude, he can put a smile on anybody. He shared interesting facts during the hike in the jungle and showed us some of the wildlife. The camp in the jungle was incredible right next to a beautiful waterfall. The next morning we went visiting the Karen village and then we spent the afternoon in the elephant sanctuary. It was honestly the best place to have a wonderful time with the elephants. You can see they are well…”
