What you can expect

Explore the idyllic Santikhiri village in the beautiful mountainside on this day trip from Chiang Rai. Visit the hill tribe villages of indigenous Thai people, learn about their unique way of living, and stop by the local tea and coffee plantations.

Enjoy a comfortable pickup from your hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle and begin your journey to Doi Mae Salong Mountain, home to the native Yao and Akha hill tribe villagers. If you visit in January, appreciate the gorgeous Japanese cherry blossoms covering the mountainside.

Arrive at the Santikhiri village and greet the friendly villagers, observing their indigenous lifestyle as your good-humored hosts don beautiful embroidered costumes. Head towards the nearby tea and coffee plantations for an insight into cultivating the fresh produce. Walk through the lush greenery and smell the lovely aroma of homegrown tea and coffee.

Stop by at the local co-op store, offering a range of home-made products including wine, medical herbs, and other locally grown produce. Don't miss this unique souvenir-buying opportunity before returning to your hotel.
