I'm not usually one for organised tours but I'm very glad I chose to give this one a try. The Chiang Mia "Scorpion Tail River Cruise" was terrific.
A gentle, relaxing 90 minute cruise with informative and humorous dialogue from the guide. The short break at the companies small orchard/farm was great. I was amazed at the number of local fruits etc. so readily available and to be able to taste test them was fantastic. The serve of fresh mango and sticky rice just topped off an excellent experience.
A very worthwhile tour while in Chiang Mia and only 10 minutes by taxi from the city centre.
A word of warning. Make sure you insist on the original Scorpion Tailed tour which has been run by a local family for many years. There is another new operation that is offering hotels and taxis "large commissions" to use their operations, REGARDLESS OF YOUR DIRECTIONS.
A great tour by lovely local people.
