Your Chiang Rai Farmstay Program
Day 1 – Cultural Immersion on a Thai Farm
Your adventure begins with pickup from your hotel in Chiang Rai around 10:00 a.m., followed by an approximately 45-minute transfer to your farmstay, nestled among the rice paddies. Warmly welcomed by your hosts, you'll discover your comfortable room overlooking the fields, before enjoying a delicious Thai lunch prepared on site.
In the afternoon, you'll participate in seasonal traditional agricultural activities such as rice planting and rubber harvesting. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the daily lives of farmers in Northern Thailand.
Then, treat yourself to a unique wellness break in the farm's unique small spa: the sum gaï spa. This traditional method uses woven bamboo bells, covered with an insulating blanket, to create an individual mini-sauna with aromatic herbs, from which only your head protrudes. An experience that's both relaxing, healthy, and fun! You can also opt for a traditional Thai massage outdoors, overlooking the fields (not included in the price).
At the end of the day, you will participate in a Thai cooking class to learn how to prepare typical northern dishes, which you will enjoy for dinner. This will be followed by a Thai dessert-making workshop. Afterward, you will spend the night in your comfortable room with plush beds, overlooking the fields and nature.
Day 2 – Spirituality and Tea Discovery
The next day, wake up at dawn to participate in the offerings to the monks on horseback who have come from the nearby temple, a local tradition. Then, you'll enjoy your local breakfast overlooking the awakening countryside.
Then, you'll head out on an excursion to visit a tea plantation and enjoy the lush green hillside views while sipping a drink.
Return to your hotel in Chiang Rai around 12:30 pm after a stay that will surely seem to have gone by too quickly.
