Thailand adventure holiday

This trip takes travellers out in to the wilderness of both north and south Thailand. Beginning with a trek to a remote tribal area to the north of Chiang Mai we meet and learn about a variety of hilltribe groups such as the Lisu, Lahu, Karen, and Shan people. Staying with villages in their simple bamboo huts, our small group visits are carefully controlled to help distribute revenue from tourism without destroying the local tradition. In Khao Sok National Park we stay on locally owned simple rafthouses, go wildlife spotting with local guides and learn about life in a lake community by visiting small fishing villages.

Travellers are briefed on the importance of respecting local sensitivities and being environmentally responsible e.g. not leaving behind litter or toilet paper, using biodegradable soaps and shampoos and wearing appropriate dress while our tour leaders make a point of leading by example.

Throughout the trip we use local guides and porters who are often from the villages we are visiting. All activities are organised directly through local people e.g. we take bamboo rafts on the river which are bought from a local village and go on an elephant trek which financially benefits a small elephant camp.
