Sample day trip · Mae Kampong
Mae Kampong day trip with San Kamphaeng Hot Springs
Mae Kampong works as a same-day return trip from Chiang Mai, with stops at San Kamphaeng Hot Springs and Mae Kampong village; Mae Kampong Waterfall is an extra for anyone who wants to keep walking. The distance is shorter than the Doi Inthanon or Chiang Rai trips, so it’s a day without rushing.
Suits anyone who wants an easy day: strolling a village in a mountain valley, sipping coffee and soaking their feet in mineral water.
