What you'll see and do
Wat Ban Den
Wat Ban Den, formerly known as Wat Ribunrueang, is one of Chiang Mai’s most extraordinary temples and also one of the largest temple complexes in Chiang Mai province. When Wat Ban Den got a new abbot in 1988 the temple was in poor condition. The new abbot received many donations from the local people and Buddhists from across the country. With these donations the temple has been completely renovated and a number of impressive structures were added. Although the structures of the temple are relatively new, they are built in traditional architectural style. You can enjoy details of historic Lanna religious art, a reclining Buddha and seated Buddhas, and pay homage to the 12 animals in the Chinese Zodiac. You will undoubtedly enjoy the beauty, serenity and piece of this wonderful site. The total duration includes traveling time from Chiang Mai to Wat Ban Den.

The Mae Ngat Dam & Reservoir
The Mae Ngat dam and reservoir is located on the western side of the Si Lanna National Park and offers a tranquil and picturesque escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The Mae Ngat dam was built in the 1980s to provide irrigation for agriculture in the surrounding Mae Ngat basin. The peaceful sanctuary has since become hugely popular with Chiang Mai locals and travelers to escape the city and get into northern Thailand’s beautiful nature. The serenely beautiful lake is surrounded by rolling hills and lush greenery. We will board a boat and enjoy the serenely beautiful lake from the water.

Bua Thong Waterfalls (Nam Phu Chet Si)
About an hour from Chiang Mai city are the Bua Thong waterfalls, also known as the Sticky Waterfalls. In Thai called Nam Phu Chet Si, the stunning multi-tiered limestone falls are located in the Si Lanna National Park, a peaceful, relaxing place with pristine forests. What makes these falls unique is that the rocks are sticky and easy to climb. Fed by calcium-rich springs, the mineral deposits have layered over many years to form what is now a cascading formation that is not slippery to walk on. There is so much grip on the rocks that you can easily walk up the falls. This waterfall is very unique and a popular place to relax.

Mae Faek Mai
We also make a stop at the Chedi Mae Krua Market. This market is absolutely no tourist attraction, but a real authentic local market. An interesting stop for tourists to see the everyday simple life of the people in this area. Make a stroll on the market and get an impression of Thai life outside the city. Then it’s time to return to Chiang Mai where we drop you off at the meeting point or at your hotel. The total duration includes traveling time from Chedi Mae Krua Market to Chiang Mai.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sticky Waterfall and Mae Ngat Boat Tour from Chiang Mai: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chiang Mai.
How much does Sticky Waterfall and Mae Ngat Boat Tour from Chiang Mai cost?
+
Prices start at $60 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Chiang Mai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sticky Waterfall and Mae Ngat Boat Tour from Chiang Mai take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Chiang Mai is not rushed.
Is Sticky Waterfall and Mae Ngat Boat Tour from Chiang Mai worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Chiang Mai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sticky Waterfall and Mae Ngat Boat Tour from Chiang Mai?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Sticky Waterfall and Mae Ngat Boat Tour from Chiang Mai suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sticky Waterfall and Mae Ngat Boat Tour from Chiang Mai?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Chiang Mai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Chiang Mai and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sticky Waterfall and Mae Ngat Boat Tour from Chiang Mai start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Chiang Mai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Chiang Mai?
+
On Outty we rank every Chiang Mai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half-Day Thai Cooking Class at Organic Farm in Chiang Mai, Full Day Thai Cooking at Farm (Chiang Mai), Thai and Akha Cooking Class in Chiang Mai. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Chiang Mai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Chiang Mai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
