Join Extreme Sports Café for an unforgettable Rafting Adventure down some of Thailand's best rivers as they tumble out of the tropical mountains of Northern Thailand. Experience the beauty of the rainforest and remote areas of Northern Thailand with Extreme Sports Café as we follow the rivers through untouched wilderness and past quaint rural hill tribe villages. Originating high in the mountains, near the Burmese border, The Mae Taeng River winds its way through valleys and canyons eventually joining the Chao Praya on its way to the Gulf of Thailand.

The Mae Taeng Valley is a perfect get away, location. This area is home to many ethnic hill tribes such as, Karen, Lahu, Lisu, Chan and Meow as well as large populations of domestic elephants and other wildlife. The beautiful and rugged Mae Taeng Valley is situated in the North Eastern corner of the Chiang Mai Province, just 90 minutes from downtown Chiang Mai. The Mae Taeng Valley provides views of lush jungle, local wildlife, and encounters with exotic hill tribes. Extreme Sports Café’s Whitewater Rafting trips are an unforgettable experience for any visitor to Thailand.

Accommodation in Chiang Mai...
The centre of Chiang Mai is full of guesthouses, which is the best way to enjoy Chiang Mai’s laid-back character and avoid the overly commercial, touristy feel of expensive hotels.
There are so many guesthouses to choose from that you can literally wander around and take your pick - that’s if the touts at the station haven’t already gotten to you first. Rates vary from 100 – 500 baht, but you get what you pay for and some have very pokey bathrooms and no hot water (Chiang Mai can get quite chilly). Noise is another factor worth considering, so it’s worth seeking out the small places tucked down an alley in the old town or adjacent areas. Since everything is within walking distance, there’s no need to select the most convenient location.
For more information on accommodation in Chiang Mai please contact us.

Extreme Sports Café’s Whitewater Rafting Trips Run: Late June – March
From July through March The Rivers are flowing and we operate Whitewater Rafting tours daily! In the rainy season (Aug-Oct.) the rivers swell and turn into raging whitewater pushing their way out of the tropical rainforest covered mountains around Chiang Mai. Join Extreme Sports Café’s Whitewater Rafting for an unforgettable adventure as we tackle the mighty and untamed Mae Taeng River, paddling our way through endless grade 3 and 4 rapids.
