vprice100 Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 hi everyone, im heading over to thailand again in 6 months and wanted to find out the best place for white water rafting over there, last time we went from phuket onto the main land about a 2 hour drive i think and that was quite good but im keen to try another place this time i like big rapids if there are different categories over there, the ones we went on were rating up to 4 and that was fun but im after something alittle more scary would chiang mai have better white water rafting? who has done it and where was it, also any pics would be awesome thanks vaughn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 you should go up to cave lodge, in soppong (between pai and mae hong son). they can arrange fabulous white water rafting trips which will take you almost all the way to mae hong son. you can google cave lodge and see what they have to offer.

enyaw Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 dont waste your time coming north in the hot dry season - no water. Op says he's heading over to Thailand in 6 months time which will make it September, end of the wet season, I imagine that's probably the best time for white water?

jdinasia Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 watch the forecasts for rain for your times in each area .. and work from there .... overnighting in Pai or elsewhere would be a nice break from the places on your list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case the Pai & Mae Taeng & Wa rivers should all be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
