- The Untamed Nam Wa River is located in the province of Nan in the remote Northeast of Thailand. Although Nan has been accessible to foreign tourists for several years, it is one of the least visited areas of Thailand and offers visitors a unique taste of untouched Thai culture and rural life. The original Wa people settled Nan over 700 years ago and are descendants of Laotions. Nowadays Nan is still quite and rural with few foreign tourists. The Nam Wa River was first run over 5 years ago and is one of the main attractions to Nan, along with the famous Provincial boat races held every year in end of October.
- The source of the Nam Wa River comes from high in the Doi Nun Mountains. Before winding its way to Mae Charim, it flows through beautiful and remote valleys, passes through some incredible gorges and provides paddlers with some pumping grade 2-4 rapids along the way. You will enjoy riverside camping, healthy Thai meals, campfires and stargazing at night. This is an unforgettable wilderness experience! The Nam Wa River is runnable 5-6 months a year, from July to December.
