About this activity
Rise before dawn for a hot-air balloon flight over Chiang Rai's rural landscape, landing on a working farm where you'll celebrate with champagne and enjoy a farm-to-table Lanna breakfast. A rare chance to experience northern Thailand's countryside from the air and connect with local agricultural traditions.
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.

- ✓Post-flight champagne celebration in a traditional grass hut amid the fields
- ✓Organic Lanna-style breakfast featuring sticky rice from the farm's own harvest

Insider tips
- ★Arrive with warm layers; dawn temperatures are cool at altitude, and you'll feel the chill during flight.
- ★Bring a good camera or phone with fast autofocus—the golden-hour light over the valleys is exceptional for photography.
- ★If prone to motion sickness, take preventative medicine 30 minutes before pickup; the flight is generally smooth, but early-morning stomach sensitivity is common.
- ★Choose the optional farming activity if you want to learn how sticky rice is harvested and prepared—guests who skip it often regret missing the cultural connection.
Good to know
- •Hotel pickup begins before 5 a.m.; confirm your address and ready time the day before.
- •Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes and avoid loose items (hats, sunglasses on lanyards) that could fall during ascent.
- •The experience is weather-dependent; flights may be postponed or cancelled in high winds or heavy rain—reschedule options are available.
- •Breakfast includes fresh local produce and herbal drinks; inform suppliers of dietary restrictions at booking.
- •Suitable for ages 5+; children must be accompanied by an adult and able to follow safety briefing instructions.
