Earth Wind & Fire Co., Ltd. is the Northern Thailand's luxury adventure company, the first and longest established hot air balloon operator in Thailand .
Balloon flights take place in the early hours each morning, before the air heats up. Meeting time is typically one hour before sunrise at a launch site.
When you arrive you are welcome to enoy a cup of coffee / tea while the balloon is being inflated. For those wanting to learn more about ballooning and “jump in” we welcome you to help the crew with the inflation, under the pilot's supervision.
As the sun peeks over the horizon, the balloon will gently lift off skyward into the calm breeze guiding it. The bird's eye view is surprisingly detailed. Guaranteed breathtaking panoramic views, of the distant mountains, terraced rice paddies, the lush green Ping River valley and rural villages, are sure to take your breath away. Visiting Unseen Thailand by way of a gentle free-floating balloon is the experience of a lifetime. An aerial view of the many striking golden temples, typical for the Chiang Mai area, adds to the picturesque adventure.
The balloon may fly above the clouds where the stationary carpet of mist looks so near and so permanent that it would be possible to get out and walk on it.
