    This tour was an absolute highlight from start to finish! Perfectly organized and carried out with a lot of humour, love and interest. Mr. Sit, our guide, and the two accompanying guides explained a lot about nature and plants to us. The overnight stays with the host families gave us a small insight into the life of the tribes. Hospitality is very important here. A trip that I can recommend to everyone!

    Fantastic trip ! I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Our guide spoke excellent English and was always explaining things to us, sharing information about plants or food or the history of the area and people. He had a great way of keeping the motivation and energy of the group high using laughter and fun. He’s just so good at his job. The local guides worked so hard for us as well carrying water and supplies and stepping stones if necessary. The host families were amazing preparing delicious foods and sharing their culture and customs. This is a really unique and challenging trip to take (from the perspective of opening your mind to a very different lifestyle). A few things to be aware of: you absolutely need proper water shoes or sandals as there’s a lot of river crossing and flip flops are too unstable, facilities in some places may be limited such as electricity, indoor plumbing or showers. Water may be boiled. The children in the villages are the best as they seem to really enjoy interacting with the tourists! Along with the introduction to traditional Thai cultural customs I got to make friends with a group of people of all ages who came from all over the world. So fun ! Just do it you won’t regret it !

    It was just a great trip. Although it was definitely a challenge to hike in the heat of the day through the jungle and the accommodations took some getting used to, the memories created on this trip with the locals and the other people on the tour will be unforgettable. A-bo-da-ya & Da-blue :)

    This was such a fantastic trip! Unforgettable memories and scenery. Ronny, our guide, kept things moving along smoothly and took care of everyone’s needs. I can’t gush enough about the experience. Bring layers, gets cold at night in the mountains!
