Family with kids Farm Experience: Buffaloes, Rice and Crafts in Chiang Mai

This is a 2-hour experience in Chiang Mai. It is run by Hang Tueng farm, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Japanese craft classes are taught by practitioners who have usually done the craft for decades, and they teach it properly: calligraphy begins with how to hold the brush and grind the ink; pottery on the wheel produces a cup that is fired and posted to you weeks later; ikebana teaches the three-line structure of a Sogetsu or Ikenobo arrangement; indigo dyeing and washi papermaking are done in the workshops of the towns that specialise in them. Classes run one to three hours, materials are included, and most welcome children with a parent.

The price covers Private family experience, Traditional indigo-dyed farmer outfit, Refreshing herbal drink and seasonal fruits, instructor and Farm entrance fee. It does not cover Hotel pickup and drop-off and Personal expenses, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Hang Tueng farm sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Hang Tueng farm before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
