Tour Plan

Pickup from Your Chiang Mai Hotel

Your day begins with a convenient hotel pickup in Chiang Mai, where your friendly, English-speaking local guide will greet you. You’ll board a clean, private air-conditioned vehicle and set off through the lush countryside of Northern Thailand. Along the way, enjoy views of rice paddies, traditional teak houses, and forested hills. Your guide will share interesting facts about the region, helping you get a feel for Chiang Mai’s natural and cultural charm — the perfect beginning to your Chiang Mai to Sticky Waterfalls Tour.

Arrive at Bua Thong Waterfalls (Sticky Falls)

After a scenic 60–75 minute drive, you'll arrive at Bua Thong Waterfalls, one of Chiang Mai’s most loved natural attractions. Known as the Sticky Waterfalls, this hidden gem gets its name from the unique limestone mineral deposits that create a natural traction, allowing you to walk up the falls without slipping. Your guide will give a safety briefing and explain the science behind these non-slip waterfalls, answering common questions like “Is the Sticky Waterfall safe to climb?” with confidence and guidance. Take a moment to admire the tropical setting: dense forest, bird calls, and the calming sound of cascading water. You'll quickly understand why this place is called a hidden gem Chiang Mai travelers shouldn’t miss.

Climbing the Falls & Forest Exploration

Now it’s time to experience the thrill of this climbable waterfall in Thailand. You’ll start at the lower tier, using your hands and feet to ascend naturally over the limestone surface. Your guide will walk you through the best footholds and safe climbing paths — part of what makes this a true Sticky Falls guided tour. There are three main levels to explore, each offering new views, photo spots, and moments to cool off. Alongside the falls, you can also walk a short nature trail that weaves through the nearby forest — perfect for spotting butterflies, birds, and learning about northern Thailand’s native plants. This portion of the tour also allows time for breaks, nature photos, and forest exploration. Whether you're a first-time visitor or returning adventurer, this part of the tour is the highlight — a unique waterfall experience that blends activity with natural beauty.

Swimming and Relaxing in Nature

After the climb, enjoy some free time at the base of the falls. The shallow, crystal-clear pools offer a refreshing reward, especially on a warm day. Feel free to dip your feet, splash around, or simply relax on the rocks and take in the peaceful atmosphere. The cool, clean water makes this a perfect swimming waterfall in Chiang Mai — ideal for families with kids or couples looking to unwind. This is also a great moment to take memorable photos with the falls behind you or to sit under the trees with a snack and enjoy the moment. It’s the perfect mix of fun, relaxation, and natural immersion — what many call one of the most fun day trips near Chiang Mai.

Return Journey to Chiang Mai

Once you're ready, your guide will accompany you back to your private vehicle for the comfortable return drive. Pass through serene countryside landscapes again, reflecting on the sights, sounds, and adventures of the day. You’ll be dropped off safely at your hotel in Chiang Mai.
