August 2, 200916 yr Hello, I live in chiang mai and i am looking for a used kayak i can use on mae ping river. Does anyone in here have one i can buy or know a place where to? Regards Kristian
August 2, 200916 yr If you do find one, make sure its a dam_n good one lol. I'd hate to fall into that 'Water'. I saw some thai people doing it the other day, so there must be a supplier somewhere, maybe someone with more CM time can help out.
August 2, 200916 yr Hello, I live in chiang mai and i am looking for a used kayak i can use on mae ping river. Does anyone in here have one i can buy or know a place where to? Regards Kristian I keep my one-man outrigger at the Faham Temple where you will find all the monks buffed out. They rent kayaks and also have a very easy access to the water. There is also up north a guesthouse on the river (sorry the name slips me) It's on the river north of the super highway. Anyway, they tried to have kayaks as a form of recreation and failed. Possibly failed even being a guesthouse. They had a whole fleet of them and I'm sure would be willing to make a deal. Oh yea, the Faham temple monks speak very little english so bring a songtheaw driver or a thai. I think one monk speaks english but never sems to be around. It's a good place to check out in the evening when all the paddlers are working out. The temple has a sign out "kayaks for rent" next to the most famous Kow Soi place. Good Luck
August 3, 200916 yr Author Thanks for the answers. rawjade420, do u think it is possible for u to find a map where I can see the place? Or a name? Thanks.
August 3, 200916 yr Two shops selling new (almost/mostly) - a double pink plastic sit on top can be found at - 18°47'9.95"N, 99° 1'36.76"E - 12,000 And a glass skirted kayak can be found at 18°44'33.03"N, 98°57'34.06"E - 15,000 FeelFree Kayaks are made in Thailand and I've heard that there is a Chiang Mai distributor - cause we plan to buy two small singles. - But used would be great also.
