    I took my 14-year-old nephew rafting, and we had the best day! Tom, Meme, and Momo from Khampan Rafting made a great team, well organised from the hotel pick-up to the rafting safety briefing. We knew exactly what we were doing, and they explained the small changes that were being made to keep us safe with the current conditions on the river (post-floods). We had a great group of outgoing international travellers that made the day, too!

    We rafted for about 12 km, a mixture of rapids and calm stretches, right down to the elephant sanctuary. Lunch was simple and tasty, with freshly made Pad Thai (vegetarian) & fruit suitable for all taste buds, bottled water was plentiful, and a short hike to the waterfall to complete the day: home late afternoon, seamless service end to end. Tom, our guide, shared all the photos he had taken of us from various vantage points along the way, airdropping 98 pics and 11 videos - free of charge, a nice touch when lots of companies charge you extra for this service.

    If you like adventure, fun, nature and time off your phones, get out and go rafting!

    I had an awesome day out on a three hour kayak trip down the river through farmland and forest. It was so calm and peaceful, with lots of birds to see including a kingfisher. We also saw water buffalo grazing by the river.
    I had kayaked a few times before but not much and Aiden the guide was very helpful with tips and explaining how to read the river. I would definitely recommend the trip.

    This was a highlight of my time in Chiang Mai. Our guide, “Jane”, was OUTSTANDING. For him, his expertise, knowledge, patience and personality, I give 5 full stars. I told him that had only kayaked once before and he was careful to stay near me while on the water, helping me feel safe and confident. The only issue I had was the fact that Trip Advisor did not accurately advertise the price of the excursion and I had to pay additionally on site. This is not how trips should be handled and I would have appreciate the website being transparent. Othetwise, I much enjoyed the evening.

    We had an amazing family adventure with Khampan Rafting last week, one of the other boats got stuck on a rock and the team did an incredible, professional and impressive job to get the family safely on to another boat and then release the boat and safely resume the adventure!! Very exciting!
    Our 3 daughters were laughing and smiling the whole time and another highlight was seeing an elephant cross the river whilst we paddled around it,
    Finally I must publicly thank the team as after the rafting we caught an overnight train to Bangkok only to realise we had left a bag at the rafting centre! The team contacted us and swiftly arranged a courier to send the bag to us in Bangkok the next day!!! We were very grateful and once again impressed how wonderful the team are!!

    Many thanks Yu and Khampan, we hope to see you again soon!

    Nice and recommended trip. Good guiding through rice fields, little villages and a calm river. Timing was a bit awkward as lunch was planned after kajaking at 4pm

    Great tour, they provided a wonderful meal, and my wife and I had a great time on the rapids. They run a safe company, with a great team along the river for safety support in case you fall in the rapids.

    We were a family of 6 people. We are not used to as much shouting and yelling as we experienced on the trip. Otherwise, the trip down the river was a great experience.
