Overview

Bua Tong is a spring-fed limestone waterfall that stays grippy and clear all year, so you can walk straight up the falls even in the rainy season. We pair it with the calmest stretch of the Mae Taeng River: a slow, guided float past jungle and rice fields with a support crew on the bank, then SaGee Waterfall's natural rock slide right behind our own riverside base camp. Small groups, hot showers, lockers and a Thai lunch included - one relaxed day, two very different waterfalls.

  • SaGee Waterfall natural rock slide
  • Bottled water
  • Hot showers, changing rooms and a towel at base camp
  • Local accident insurance

  • Air-conditioned vehicle
  • River tube and life jacket
  • Waterproof phone pouch to borrow
  • Bua Tong (Sticky) Waterfall

Itinerary

Start with hotel pickup in central Chiang Mai around 07:30 and ride about an hour north to Bua Tong, the famous "Sticky Waterfall", where the mineral-coated limestone grips bare feet and you can walk straight up the falls. Climb as many tiers as you like with your guide, then continue to our riverside base camp in Mae Taeng for a Thai lunch. In the afternoon, grab your tube for a guided float down the Mae Taeng River - around 50 to 75 minutes of gentle current, jungle banks and rice-field views, with a river guide floating alongside and a support crew on the bank. Back at camp, finish on SaGee Waterfall's natural rock slide, rinse off under hot showers, and relax with fresh fruit before the drive back to your hotel.

Meeting and pickup

Hotel pickup is included within about 5 km of the Old City (most central Chiang Mai hotels). We confirm your exact pickup point and time the evening before - pickup is usually around 07:30.
