ATV Riding in Chiang Rai: Jungle Trails & Waterfalls

Three and a half hours on your own ATV: jungle paths, waterfalls, village views, and farm stops

ATV riding in Chiang Rai is a 3.5-hour activity where you operate your own 200cc ATV or ride as a passenger through countryside routes that pass Yafu Village, Huai Mae Sai Waterfall, Ruammit Village, rice fields and pineapple farms. You choose one of four routes at checkout. Trip A and Trip B include a meal and drinks, while all routes include safety equipment, instruction, a practice session and a professional guide who speaks English and Thai. Children from age 8 can ride as passengers with an adult driver. Solo riders must be at least 15 years old.

The experience

You make your own way to the ATV base in Ruammit Village, where the mountains, rivers and farming landscape set the scene. After check-in, you get a safety briefing, helmet and riding instructions, then a short practice session with your guide before heading out. The four routes differ in terrain and stops: Trip A takes you through Yafu Village and the Lahu hill tribe area to the Sea of Mist at Doi Bo, Huai Mae Sai Waterfall and a pineapple tasting. Trip B explores the national park and Huai Kaew Waterfall with pineapple included. Trip C runs motocross-style trails and jungle paths to 360° village views. Trip D passes through Ruammit Village itself, crossing rivers and rice fields with seasonal trail options and a local pineapple farm.

Every route keeps you off the usual tourist roads and into authentic countryside. You can book as a solo rider on your own ATV or as a passenger riding with a driver. Each ATV holds up to two people with a combined weight limit of 140 kg. Trip A and Trip B come with a meal and drinking water. The other routes include water only. All options provide basic insurance, safety equipment and the guide's instruction throughout the ride. After you return to the base, you have time to relax and take final photos before heading home.
