- Songthaew transport included from Thapae Gate
- 4.5-hour tour, up to 20 people
- Free cancellation
- Instant confirmation
WanderSiam’s half-day trip to the Sticky Waterfalls starts from Thapae Gate in Chiang Mai’s Old City rather than your hotel: everyone meets in front of Burger King, then travels out by songthaew, the red-truck shared taxi that’s the only transport included on this booking.
The first stop is Chet Si, a natural spring locals visit for its clear water and local legend. It’s a quiet spot, good for photos of the surrounding forest before the main event. At Bua Thong itself, mineral deposits have coated the limestone in a texture that grips like sandpaper, so visitors climb the cascade with bare hands and feet rather than skirting around it: no ropes, no rented gear, just the rock doing the work. The 4.5 hours covers both stops at an easy pace, with most of the time spent at the waterfalls.
- Duration: 4.5 hours
- Group size: Up to 20
- Includes: Songthaew transport from Thapae Gate
- Meeting point: In front of Burger King, Thapae Gate, Chiang Mai Old City
Watch out: there’s no hotel pickup on this booking (you need to get yourself to Thapae Gate) and no meals are included, so eat beforehand or bring money for food nearby. No water shoes are provided either.
Insider Tip: the limestone stays wet, so climb slowly and put your whole foot down rather than tiptoeing.
Groups top out at 20.
