Scorpion Tailed Boat Cruise

Traditional boat cruise along the Ping River with historical commentary

Address 381/1 Jaroenraj Rd, Faham, Chiang Mai

A roughly ninety-minute cruise along the Ping River in a traditional scorpion-tailed boat, with a guide pointing out old buildings along the bank — including sites once connected to Chiang Mai's royal palace — and sharing some of the river's history as a route used by 19th-century missionaries and traders. The trip ends at Scorpion Tailed Boat Village with mango sticky rice and a look at local wood, bamboo, and coconut crafts. Hotel pickup and drop-off is included.
