    Trekking & Culture, Bangkok & Chiang Mai 6-nights was "Excellent" and we would strongly recomend. Steve at coordination head quarters was always available to answer questions or provide clarification along the way. Every ride to and from airports and tour guides picking us up at hotels arrived early and were completly informed and very knowledgable of our itinerary. While we enjoyed every aspect of the tour, the highlights were the trek, village stay where the fresh pineapple, watermellon, and mango was to die for, followed by the fun river rafting to washing & feeding the elephants. Also temple visits, tuktuk rides, and make sure you don't miss the Sunday night Chiange Mai street market were informative, fun,& a treat. A special thank you to Steve from Trunk Travel head quarters, Bangkok city tour guide Dui, Chiang Mai city guide Yu, and our trek guide One, were first class and each made sure our experience was as good as could be. As a heads up, make sure you have good hiking shoes for about 10 k down hill hike, water shoes for the rafting and washing elephants, and be prepared for a hard bed at the over nighter at the village. Finally, don't expect to lose any weight. The Thai food & fruit is just too good to pass up on.
