Tha Ton
Tha Ton is Chiang Mai's northern most village situated
in Mae Ai sub-district. It is a place where the Maenam Kok flows
to Chiang Rai town. Here, one can observe the simple, traditional
but splendid riverside lifestyle as well as that of the hill tribe
villages. For trips to Chiang Rai, visitors may chose from long-tail
boat services with a fee of 200 bahts per person departing at 12.30
p.m. (reaching Chiang Rai around 4.00p.m.) or travelling by bamboo
raft which takes 3 days. Activities include rafting to hot springs,
visiting a Lahu (Musoe) village and elephant riding around the village
and forests.
