It's educational, active, and full of highlights.
SpiceRoads CyclingNorthern Thailand's premier holiday destination, Chiang Mai, provides a fun and educational setting for an active family getaway. Beyond the city, a vibrant landscape awaits you: gushing waterfalls nestled in lush jungle, mist-shrouded mountains, ethical elephant sanctuaries, sprawling rice paddies, and traditional communities. Instead of spending your holiday on long day-trip car rides, our Chiang Mai Family Explorer maximizes your time outdoors, combining kid-friendly bike routes with immersive, quintessentially northern Thai experiences!
Beginning with a hotel pick-up from Chiang Mai, your adventure kicks off at the "Sticky Waterfall", from where you’ll dart off by bike through forests and farmlands to reach a glittering temple complex. The next day, you’ll enjoy an unforgettable, up-close encounter with elephants before spending the night at an ecolodge committed to preserving Hmong culture—a distinct highland ethnic group. You’ll then cycle through rice fields and pause to learn about the fascinating craft of elephant poo-poo paper (yes, you read that right!). Finally, you’ll ride along the Ping River plains to a northern Thai family home for an authentic, hands-on cooking class. After feasting on your own creations, you’ll return to Chiang Mai. Your tour concludes with a transfer to your post-tour hotel or the airport.
Join us on this 4-day exploration of Chiang Mai, designed for the young and the young at heart!
