About this experience
Casual Family Bike Ride to Lake Huay Tueng Thao
We start our journey from the city center, riding partly on a lengthy and safe bike path leading to Lake Huay Tueng Thao. This 24 km round trip takes you northwest of Chiang Mai, along the base of the majestic Suthep mountain, to the popular lake. The lake is a favorite among locals for its shoreline restaurants, fishing spots, swimming areas, and cold drinks. Perfect for families, this is a casual cycle out of the city.
Feel free to bring your swim gear if you want to take a dip in the lake! After a customary ride around the lake and a hearty lunch, we’ll head back on a brand new bike lane, weaving through the small alleys of Chiang Mai. Our knowledgeable guides make the experience even better by pointing out interesting sights and sharing insights about the area. This tour offers a relaxed and enjoyable way to experience Chiang Mai's natural beauty and local culture.
