This one day ride takes you out to tranquil places where the water buffalo
and ox are the tools of choice to plow the rice fields and transport the harvest.
You see that family, friends and the Buddhist faith are what is important
to Thai people and that a good crop and healthy lifestyle are what puts a broad
smile on people's faces. You visit the Sankampaeng markets where the fresh
produce is artfully displayed. Sampling the fruits in season will make sure
you will not run out of energy throughout our picturesque day. Quiet country
roads at the base of a mountain range will bring you to the Sankampaneng Hot
Springs where, if you can stand the heat, we can have a dip in the natural
mineral springs that are said to be curative and rejuvenating. You'll stop
for lunch at a local restaurant, perhaps sampling the famous northern Thai
noodle dish kao-soy, a chicken curry dish made with yellow noodles. This is
a real original Thai experience that you won't find on other itineraries.
An enjoyable ride that finishes with somewhere to soothe those muscles and
leave you in no doubt that you certainly are on holidays!
