A sticky waterfall, then a slow float into the golden hour — with whoever else booked that day. Come alone, leave with a group chat.
Is this your kind of float?
- You’re travelling solo and want to leave with real friends
- You’d rather talk than shout over a sound system
- You want golden hour, a sticky waterfall and cold drinks — back by ~19:30
- You’re after a 400-person foam party — Pai does that well
- You’re out to get wasted — it’s drinks, not drunk
- You want a quiet float — try our morning Half-Day trip
Where we meet & getting there
- JJ Market (Jing Jai Market) car park, Atsadathorn Rd · 11:30 — open the map · no hotel pickup
- Trucks leave 11:45 sharp — look for our songthaews
- Getting there: a Grab bike drops you at the JJ Market car park from anywhere in town
- Drop-off: same spot, ~19:30
What’s included
- Transport — songthaew there and back
- Bua Tong Sticky Waterfall (Option A) · picnic box, water & snacks

Drinks on the river

Phones & valuables
- Best: bring your own waterproof pouch

Age, food & what to bring
- Age 15+ — young kids are better on our day tours
- Eat lunch before 11:30 — the picnic box is for the waterfall
- Bring: swimwear · change of clothes · strap sandals · something warm for the ride home
Safety & the river
- Everyone out of the water before 18:00 — no exceptions
- High or fast water? We say so and swap the float for camp, slide & trail — never a river we would not put our own family on
- Your crew: Mae Taeng villagers · guides in the water with you
- Leave no trace — a trash tube floats with the raft
How is this different from the big tubing parties in Pai?
- Pai: 400+ people, DJs, foam — a great time if that’s your night
- Here: max 40 people · golden hour · conversations you can actually hear
- And: you sleep in Chiang Mai — no 3–4 hour mountain-road transfer. Different night, different memory.
Stay the night — +฿450
- Air-con dorm bed with privacy curtain + breakfast
- Ride back to the city next morning
- Add it when you book — or decide at camp if beds are still free · see the dorm →
