Your Chiang Rai Farmstay Program
Day 1 – Discover Rural Thai Life
You will be picked up from your hotel in Chiang Rai at around 9:00 AM. On the way to the farm, you will stop at a tea plantation, one of the region's most iconic landscapes. After the visit, you will continue to your farmstay accommodation, located about 45 minutes from the city.
Upon arrival, your hosts will warmly welcome you, show you around the property, and take you to your comfortable room overlooking the rice paddies. You will then enjoy a delicious homemade Thai lunch prepared with fresh local ingredients.
In the afternoon, you'll experience authentic farm life by taking part in seasonal activities such as rice planting, rubber tapping, or other traditional farming tasks depending on the time of year.
Later, it's time to relax with the farm's unique Sum Gai Spa. This ingenious wellness experience uses large woven bamboo chicken coops covered with insulating blankets to create individual herbal steam saunas, with only your head sticking out. It's an effective, relaxing, and surprisingly fun experience. You may also enjoy a traditional Thai massage overlooking the rice fields (massage not included in the tour price).
In the late afternoon, you'll join a Thai cooking class where you'll prepare your own dinner before enjoying it together. Afterwards, you'll learn how to make a selection of traditional Thai desserts before spending a peaceful night in your cozy room.
Day 2 – Offering to Horseback Monks & Return to Chiang Rai
At dawn, around 6:30 AM, you'll have the opportunity to participate in a traditional alms-giving ceremony to monks arriving on horseback from the nearby temple—a rare and memorable local tradition. Afterward, enjoy breakfast overlooking the countryside before some free time to relax. You will then be transferred back to your hotel in Chiang Rai.
