Chance to buy some snacks, fruits drinks etc. for your trek. Then reach a small elephant camp. Enjoy some time with these gentle giants and you also have the opportunity to feed them (no riding!). Have lunch at a local restaurant before hiking for about one hour to a small waterfall and enjoy a cool bath. Go on with your trek for approx..1,5 hours until you reach a Karen hill tribe village and spend the night here.

Before breakfast you have time for a stroll around the village to learn more about the daily simple life here in the wilderness. Then continue trekking and about 2,5 hours later you will reach the village of Mae Sapok. Time for your lunch at a local restaurant. A short transfer will bring you to the Mae Wang River. Have fun with bamboo rafting down the small river (it can get a bit wet sometimes!). Afterwards it is already time again for your transfer back to Chiang Mai and you will be back at your booked hotel by late afternoon.
