Chiang Mai Rainfall

Cool Season (Nov–Mid Feb 2025)
Chiang Mai enjoys mostly clear skies and cool nights, with diminishing rainfall. Occasional showers refill the rivers—and that’s when we “hunt” for perfect kayaking conditions.

Dry-Green Season (Mid Feb–Jun 2025)
Rainfall is scarce, and many river sections enter “ELFing” (Extremely Low Flow Kayaking). It sounds extreme, but beginners love exploring jungle waterways in gentle currents—plus, the predictable weather makes every paddle an adventure.

Green Season, La Niña 2025 (Jul–Oct 2025)
We call this the true Green Season. Daily heat builds towering cumulus over the valley and mountains, releasing short, torrential afternoon showers—usually around 3 PM—to cool everything down. During these months, we track real-time river gauges and “water pix” updates to pick just the right sections for safety and fun.

Had a really fun experience on the hike and bike in Doi Sukothep. The heat and gradient of the hike was tough but a nice challenge. Biking down was great too. Danai the guide made the experience really good, accommodating to the fitness/experience levels in the group and was a personable guy with great English. Only negative I would say is that although the bikes were good overall (good brakes & suspensions) the drivetrains on some of the bikes needed some maintenance

My dad (55+) and I (late 20s) went on the cave and kayak trip. We both extremely enjoyed the entire day from start to finish. The guides (A and Danai) were amazing, with pretty good knowledge of the area and lots of humor. We joined a group of another 3 people who were equally fascinated by the whole trip. Even though our group varied in kayak experience, the guides were kind enough to keep everyone together and make sure we all got through to the end. Overall, must do! A day well spent.

Toffe kayak samen met p Danai. Materiaal in orde, vriendelijke mensen. Hij vertelde veel over de omgeving top kerel! Deze periode staat het water redelijk laag, ze raden aan om in de winterperiode te komen!

I loved the experience. Very nice easy route across the country side. Nice Kayak and relaxing route. Great market visit. Excellent food at the end. All this guided but Danai, which is a very cool guy who explains many things about the local life. Totally recommendable.

Great day visiting the Dao Cave Temple and kayaking. Our guide was great and made the day a lot of fun. Would recommend this tour but know that it is a long ride in a songtaew from Chiang Mai.

Myself and my wife enjoyed a great kayaking trip with some really great guides. The kayaks are in various sizes to suit body size. We had a good safety briefing at the start. Water was supplied and we had some great food at lunchtime. we were picked up and dropped off at our hotel, they also have a shop which can offer waterproof phone bags, gifts and some very smart T shirts with the logo on😎 great fun for novice to expert.
