Now that the rain has subsided, and river levels have gone down, it is prime time to break out the tubes and glide down the river. We talk a lot on this blog about more extreme sports, like kayaking or whitewater rafting, but there are also other less intensive ways to enjoy the water on a hot summer day. Summer’s on its tail end, and you need to get out there to explore river tubing before the fall starts to creep in!
Looking for a fun activity that the whole family can enjoy? Look no further than Tubing Chiang Mai in Mae Taeng! This small town is in the heart of the huay nam dung national park and offers plenty of nature-bound activities for everyone.
A History of Tubing
There are rumors that the practice of tubing came from Thailand. It’s generally accepted that the sport came out of the automobile boom during the 20th century. After we started making cars en masse, there were tons of extra rubber bits to make tubes out of. Now, tubing doesn’t have to just be on the river–it doesn’t even have to be on water.
Why You Should be Tubing
There are a lot of great reasons you should opt for tubing this summer. For one, our rivers are perfect for it. There are gentle sections that guide you down the river with ease, and just enough water movement to make the trip exciting. It’s a relaxing trip; team up with your buddies or your family, and take that trip on the river that everyone can enjoy. Your mother doesn’t have to worry about whitewater rafting, and it’s still thrilling enough to give you that sense of adventure that so often comes with Mae Taeng rivers.
