Kayak Conditions UPDATED

Annual rainfall Northern thailand

La Nina 2022

La Nina 2022

The Northern Thailand Region has 3 distinct seasons ,  all rivers are primarily fed by rain water . 

Cool Season :

November through Mid February, Chiang Mai enjoys mostly clear skies and night temps get nice and cool. This is also the time where we see less and less new rain fall. Occasional showers refill the rivers and we “hunt” down the perfect conditions to kayak. 

Dry – green Season 2022 :

Expect higher water levels this Dry Season due to La Nina ( a cooling of Ocean currents) 🙂

Mid February trough June, Chiang mai goes dry with very few showers.   However there are now river sections that are opening up for “ELFing” (extremely low flow kayaking), which actually is a lot more fun then it sounds and extremely popular with beginners , as they can now enjoy the challenges of jungle kayaking in low water.  It also is a good time for exploration as the weather has become very predictable. In 2022 Chiang mai has enjoyed above levels rainfall keeping the air quality fine but water levels gentle.

Green Season :

July through October We love the rainy or here in Chiang mai called the green season. The daily building overcast brings us rain around 3:30 pm in the afternoon , the heat helps tower huge cumulus clouds very localized over the valley and hanging in the mountains. The rains are torrential for short periods of time and have a delightful cooling effect on everyone alive up here. In this time the hunt is on again , this time to verify the exact water levels of all rivers that are in the game. Thanks to our local connections with smart phones we get the last minute “water pix” and with the reliable numbers from the local hydraulic readouts we can make the right river choice for our kayakers on that day, before setting of on the trip.

DAILY Mae Ping River Water levels for September , October 2022 we have suspended the daily reports as water conditions will not vary for the forseable future. For Volume details see the link below
