Leave the city behind and relax awhile, carried along the cool waters of the River Ping. Enjoy the ever-changing scene: resplendent teak houses, rural greenery and sunny-faced kids scrambling into the water with shouts of glee. Stop at the local farmer’s house and see for yourself the cultivation of jasmine rice and a variety of herbs for use both in medicine and cookery. Enjoy a snack of seasonal fresh fruit and savour the refreshing taste of lemon grass and other herb juices.
