Mountain biking: cyclist will enjoy mountain biking here because of the cool climate and fresh air. There are many trails to choose from including some that pass the Mekong River and others that offer views of Myanmar or stops at hill side villages. Trips need to be booked with tour operators who will provide a guide to accompany all groups. Trekking: Doi Pa Tang, Doi Tung, Doi Mae Salong are all areas that are good for trekking. The treks are designed to include stops at hill tribe villages, temples and spots the offer spectacular views. Golf: the Santiburi Golf Course and the Waterford Valley Golf Course are two courses that have maintained international standards. The Santiburi Golf Course makes it way around gently sloping hills and lakes and through sudden valleys making it a challenge for most golfers. The 18 hole Waterford Valley Golf Course lies against a beautiful mountainous scenery and has many water hazards within its course. Boat trip: a boat ride on the Mae Kok River, to the small hill tribe village of Moo Ban Ruammit, is a relaxing experience. At the village you can have your picture taken with a python or ride on an elephant. As the boat slowly travels along the river banks you will see children running to catch the boat and waving with pure delight and women washing clothes against the green backdrop of nature at its best. Elephant riding: sitting on the back of an elephant while it walks through streams, jungles and thick undergrowth is an experience that you will not want to miss. Tour operators will organise tours that suit your schedule and the level of adventure you wish to experience. |
