How far would you walk for a meal cooked inside bamboo in Chiang Rai’s jungle? This full-day jungle trekking tour takes you into Lam Nam Kok Forest for a route of up to 12 kilometers through bamboo groves, mountain paths, tea plantations, and highland areas connected to Lisu, Chinese, Akha, and Lahu communities. Deep in the forest, your guide will show you how ingredients are packed into bamboo stalks and cooked over an open fire before you enjoy the meal beneath the trees. Continue to a forest waterfall, where you can cool off before reaching Pha Soet Hot Springs, the final reward of the day. Soak in the warm mineral water, ease your tired legs, and return to your Chiang Rai hotel with transfer included. Take on the trail, cook in bamboo, and claim your jungle adventure — book now.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Hotel pickup is available from hotels in the Chiang Rai city area at approximately 08:00 AM. The exact pickup time will be confirmed by email after booking. Please wait in your hotel lobby at least 10 minutes before the scheduled pickup time. Arrivals more than 10 minutes late may be considered no-shows.
What to expect
Along the way, pass areas connected to Lisu and Chinese communities before stopping for a hands-on bamboo cooking experience. With your guide’s help, place fresh ingredients into bamboo tubes and cook them over an open fire. As lunch heats inside the bamboo, smoke drifts through the forest air, turning a simple meal into a memorable forest moment.
After lunch, follow the sound of rushing water until a forest waterfall appears through the trees. Cool off in the natural pool or rest beside the cascade when conditions permit, then continue through areas connected to Akha and Lahu communities.
After 5–6 hours on foot, reach Pha Soet Hot Springs and sink into the warm mineral water. Let the heat ease your tired legs before returning to Chiang Rai with the feeling that you have not just seen the jungle, but walked, cooked, swum, and truly experienced it.
