The Chiang Mai Adventure That Earned Its Place on the Challenge

In this episode of Thailand Adventure Secrets , Bangkok Bill shares his firsthand experience of a two-day trekking adventure outside Chiang Mai, and why it earned its place in the Thailand Backpackers Rite of Passage Challenge , connecting Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Koh Chang. Come along for spectacular mountain views beside a golden chedi, the Bangkok-to-Chiang Mai overnight sleeper train, a night at his trekking guide’s family home, delicious local khao soi, and a baby elephant far too busy playing in the river to notice its visitors. Then there’s the bamboo raft ride, and the moment the guide nearly went overboard! Want the full challenge itinerary?
