The Kok River by Longtail

Best Time to Do This

November through February, when the river runs at a manageable level for longtail travel; the June–October rains can raise the current and muddy the water.

What to Expect

A longtail boat journey along the Kok River past riverside villages, jungle-backed banks, and the occasional water buffalo at the water's edge — a slower, quieter way to see rural Chiang Rai province than any road trip covers.

How to Prepare

Life jackets are standard on longtail boats; wear them even if offered as optional. Bring a light rain layer in the wet season and sun protection year-round — there's no shade on the open river.
