    Dinner cruise on the Ping river

    in Chiang Mai

    Posted

    I've done the River Side cruise many, many times and never been disappointed. You arrive 7 - 7:30 pm, order from the menu and they shove off by 8 pm. There is a modest additional charge over the menu prices. It's a very good value. The cruise is about 90 minutes. No narration, though, so it helps to bring a local to explain what you're seeing.

    It's especially good for Loi Krathong. I expect they're booked for Loy Krathong evening (Nov 17), but the couple days before and after are just about as good. Still many lanterns and there are lighted floats on the river, kind of like floating parade floats. It's possible for a small group to get in just by showing up at 7 pm and waiting on "stand-by", even on Loy Krathong night for people who made reservations but fail to come. Just smile, be patient and don't act all upset if everyone actually does show up.

    will try this when we arrive as we don't get there till 25th November

    so hopefully good as nancy says

    Hi Charlie , i have spent a while in Chiang Mai and will be over again in April (will be moving there mid 2015) as im also into enduros / green-laning. If you go to the "Australian Bar" on Loi Kroh road - East side of city , just before the "Iron Bridge" that crosses the Ping river , and ask if Chris Curtis is there (real nice guy from England)- if there is a GP or F1 race , he should be , as they show all sport on some big TV,s and he will direct you to a Thai guy named Nung who lives in Hang Dong and is a superb source of info.He leads some jungle rides on a variety of bikes and is the best mechanic i have seen in Thailand.Whats your story ? reason for moving (from where) bike you will be buying etc.I will be giving Chris and Nung a call soon , so if you have any specific questions then let me know.Hope to see you in April.PS - Make sure you are fully insured and use all the motocross clothing you have for protection , as its expensive to buy in Thailand.
