JC’s Road Trip – A Night on a Houseboat on Mae Ngat Dam & Reservoir Thailand
Check out our exclusive member site:
Well it is nice to be back on the road again! While traveling around I want give you a peek at some fun things to do if you are living as a happy RIPper (Retiree In Paradise) in Thailand. So let me show you a cool and fun thing to do if you are living in the north of Thailand.
If you are looking to get away from the congestion of Chiang Mai, about an hour away from town you can find yourself in a peaceful surrounding on a houseboat in the middle of a picturesque lake surrounded by cool water and misty forests. A perfect way to spend a long weekend, or even just a day is to go to Mae Ngat Dam & Reservoir.
You will have to pay to enter the Sri Lanna National Park, where the Mae Ngat Dam and Reservoir is located. It seems like sometimes you get in to the park for free because there is no one collecting money. The fee isn’t much though so don’t sweat it. However, there is the two-tier pricing is in place as with all National Parks, and as a Farang you might have to pay a bit more. It's an unfortunate fact about Thailand, but it won’t break you.
Once you arrive, you will need to take a long-tail boat to the actual houseboats, which are nestled further away from the parking area. It appears it costs 500 Baht, for the boat ride out to the houseboats. Although by phone we were told it would only be 100 Baht.
This large stretch of fresh water was formed a while back when a dam was built across the Mae Ngat river and flooded the valley forming the reservoir. The Mae Ngat Reservoir lies between the Mae Ngat and Mae Taeng forests creating an incredibly quiet spot to relax, swim or to fish. The reservoir has good fishing. Catches include, giant catfish, Jungle Fish and Indian Carp. Kayaks are also available to rent for paddling around on the lake.
We stayed at one of the several floating houseboats that available for rent by the day or to sleep in overnight. The accommodations are very basic and electricity is only generated during the evening hours so don’t expect luxury. There are also restaurants where you can order food & drinks while there. So come along with us and enjoy the peace and tranquility of Mae Ngat Dam & Reservoir.

MAE NGAT DAM | Mae Taeng relax day
Great to take another group ride with the staff and clients of Chloe Motorbike rentals. Any of you guys who come to Chiang Mai and need some wheels for a month or more, then look for their Facebook page and get yourself a great deal. Today we took off for a chilled relax at Mae Ngat dam which is about an hour's ride north of Chiang Mai. No internet out on the houseboats, but food, beer, swimming, slides, kayaks and great views. The boats are 600 baht and seat 8 people so a trip here will not break the bank. If you get the chance to go then I really recommend the place. If you make it to the end of the video you will see some 360 camera shots from the boat coming back to the mainland.

Chiang Mai Province trip to Mae Ngat dam...
This video is about Chiang Mai Province trip to Mae Ngae dam and our long tail boat ride out to see a resort in the lake. This is a beautiful lake and usually calm as it was this day. During the rainy season, the foliage around the lake is a lush green and I will try to take another trip up the lake during that season and do another video on it....

Sticky waterfall and Mae Ngat dam(Local spots)Chiang Mai,Thailand. Must visit!!
Bua Thong waterfall(Sticky waterfall) and Mae Ngat dam is our destination in this video.
Bua Thong waterfall(Sticky waterfall) a very famous waterfall in Chiang Mai because of its non slippery property. At sticky waterfall you can enjoy climbing up and down the waterfall. You should spend 2-4 hours here.
Our next destination is around 20 minutes from the waterfall so if you have a chance to visit sticky waterfall you should also visit the Mae Ngat dam and have lunch at one of the floating houses and after you're full with amazing Thai food you can enjoy kayaking, jumping and sliding into the water for free!
This is an amazing day trip to take from Chiang Mai. I totally recommend you to hire a red truck or something to get there and enjoy this amazing nature.

Mae Ngat Lake
A visit to Mae Ngat Reservoir about one hour north of Chiang Mai. We took a long tail boat out to a floating restaurant with bungalows, as you can stay overnight in several places. After some cold Leo beer, relaxing, a very enjoyable lunch, we returned and rode back to home. A great experience and place to leave the city behind, and enjoy some scenic beauty! Thanks to Buddy Guy for some hometown blues with The Dream.

Kayaking on Mae Ngat Dam, Chiang Mai
Nestled within the beautiful Sri Lanna National Park you will find the sizable Mae Ngat Somboon Chon Reservior; a fantastic spot for some peaceful kayaking surrounded by lush jungle and mountainous terrain.
Recently we led an awesome group of kids as part of their summer camp in Chiang Mai. Kayaking is a great experience and good opportunity for kids to learn about water safety, practice team work and develop a new skill. This video gives a little bit of insight into the awesome time we have when we go kayaking on Mae Ngat in Sri Lanna National Park.
