Your 4×4 adventure starts with a scenic drive South of Chiang Mai. Our first stop is at the local market of Chomthong, where Karen people, often still wearing their traditional gown, offer their produce. We also visit the impressively beautiful temple Wat Phrathat Si Chomthong.
Then continue to Mae Ya waterfall, where picnic lunch will be taken. With its 200m and many tiers, Mae Ya is one of the highest and most beautiful waterfalls in Thailand.
After lunch, continue driving southwards, and enter Ob Luang national park. We will stop at the spectacular Ob Luang canyon and at Theppanom hotsprings.
Late afternoon, we reach Mae Chaem, where we will spend the night.

Enjoy a lazy breakfast in the morning sun.
Today we will mostly drive on dirtroads and through jungle, passing small hill tribe villages. We start with a scenic ride along the Mae Chaem river.
Picnic lunch will be taken in a hill tribe village on the way. After lunch, it’s time for action! Dirt–tracks that during the rainy season change into impassable mud–slides, will make the adrenalin rush through your veins. Pass several hilltribe villages and stop every now and then to get in touch with these friendly, colorful people.
Later afternoon, arrive at Le Musikee Resort in Wat Chan. Dinner at the resort restaurant.
