The Mae Sa valley Hike and Bike tour is one of our most popular day trip and covers a lot of ground! This amazing trip begins with a 2 hour hike through stunning jungle and bamboo forest with possible encounters with locals going about their daily business. At the end of the trek soak your feet in the cool water of a waterfall before eating a delicious Thai lunch at a local restaurant. In the afternoon, bike in a beautiful valley along fun dirt trails, rural village roads, past plantations, shimmering rice paddies and glittering temples.
