During March, April, and May, you can use inflatable kayaks, for the main class IV section, the most exciting white water in northern Thailand. The kayaks are set up with one or two guests in front and a guide in the back. During the rest of the year the water is too challenging and we only offer inflatable kayaking on our class II-III sections. Check out our Facebook page for examples of past trips and what current trips look like. https://www.facebook.com/8Adventures.
10 km Inflatable Kayaking has it all. Its broken into 3 sections. The first section is a great warm-up where you learn skills practicing with the guides and getting used to the kayak. This section has one class III and is probably the most beautiful section of the river with the encroaching jungle offering lots of shade. The second section is action-packed with rapids and is probably the best whitewater in Thailand. Most of this section is class III and IV rapids. The Third section lets up in the beginning giving you some time to relax before entering a great class III rapid leading into a short continuous section of rapids that goes almost all the way to the take out where our camp is.

Kayaking In Chiang Mai Thailand
Thailand has many rivers throughout the country but not many of them are suitable for rafting and kayaking. As well many of them the access is very challenging. Thats why chiang mai is a great place for kayking. There are commercial kayking trips you can take part in near the main city of Chaing Mai on the Mae Tang River, the Mae Ping River and the Pai River (3hrs away).
