Beyond the small town Samoeng, northwest of Chiang Mai, is a heavily forested area. There are mainly Karen villages in this area and there are some stunning waterfalls. This is the stunning place where we will take you to on this two day trekking adventure. We will use a comfortable four-wheeldrive vehicle and you will be able to select your favorite dishes*. All drinks are included and you only have to carry your camera and a bottle of water.

We drive to Samoeng where we will do some shopping at the local market. From there we continue over a dirt road to the start of our trek. We spend the night in the Karen village Khunwin from where we have a fantastic view over Samoeng and Doi Pui/Doi Suthep National Park. If skies are clear you can see Chiang Mai.

The following day we will continue to a fantastic waterfall where there is time for a swim. We will have a picnic lunch at the falls before we descend along many smaller waterfalls to the ricefields of the Karen village Huay Yuak where our car will be waiting for us. Then it is time for a relaxing bamboo raft trip on the river. There is also an option to make an elephant ride here before we drive back to Chiang Mai.
