Chiang Rai: Guided Hot Air Balloon Sightseeing Tour

After an early morning pick up from your Chiang Rai hotel, arrive at an authentic farm at Ban Chomna Resort. Enjoy a refreshing tropical Welcome Drink, such as mint, lemon grass or seasonal juice.

Watch the Ground Crew prepare for the 'Once-In-A-Lifetime' experience of hot-air ballooning over the stunning Chiang Rai countryside. The experience will take approximately 45 to 60 minutes and will be at dawn, just as the sun rises to start a new day.

After landing, take part in the Post Flight Champagne Celebration in the grass hut stations right in the middle of the rice field. Then it is time for an organic Lanna Style A -La-Carte Breakfast with stream sticky rice harvested from their own rice field, together with local herb juice, fruits and vegetables fresh from the garden.

Should you wish, you'll get a kick out of a fun farming activity for about 30 minutes (optional) following which you'll be driven back to your Chiang Rai hotel OR to nearby Singha Park.
