What To Expect

The Mae Ngat valley crossing is a challenge by distance and requires good condition and stamina. The full 32 km course is only recommended in and around the wet season due to better flow. Motivated Beginners and advanced Kayakers alike enjoy the unspoiled nature along the upper Mae Ping River. The interesting contours of the river are at first challenging. The creek-like features at the time force the paddler to adhere to its path, making this a great place to improve and learn the art of river kayaking.

The swift (seasonal) waters help us across the valley. A quick snack at the Mid Valley Bridge gives us the strength to continue to the Mae Taeng forest reserve. The river widens here and the second half of the trip seems easier and certainly faster. Only accessible by boat it rewards us with a great appreciation for the region’s solitude and serenity. The Mae Taeng Forest Reserve is the best jungle kayak section of the trip and well admired. The Mae Taeng dam stops us and a well-deserved lunch awaits us at the restaurant in the Mango Plantation.
