    It was the perfect trip for a solo traveler. I made amazing friends and got to see a local side of Thailand. I know there?s no way I?d have those experiences without this tour and really stretched myself to try new things. PS spicy Joe is the mannnnnnn

    This tour was just amazing! From the walk in Chinatown to the walks thru the amazing temples Sit( our local tour leader) was just amazing ! Sit did everything to accommodate everyone. The second half of the tour was a trek thru the hill tribe communities. This was such an amazing experience with Sot leading the way along with other local guides. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a variety on the itinerary.

    Turned out to be 2 separate tours/groups with the same guide but there was a comment about this in trip notes. Got to see and do some interesting things. Village home stays and hikes were a unique opportunity.

    This tour is not all -inclusive. When you get to the hill tribe portion you will owe 900 Bath for your three amazing wilderness guides, 100 Back h per night at each one f the tribes to stay in your hut and for meals, a few taxi driver tips (maybe 400 Bath) and probably a few tips I forgot to mention, in addition to snack and beverage money and money to purchase the hand made textiles from the village women. It is not a lot of money but I wish I had known about the extras so I had taken more money instead of leaving it at the hotel in Chiang Mai. It wasn’t fair to the hard working women in the later villages that we all ran out of money. The experience is, however; worth every bit that you tip the tribes! Day one of the hike is really hard! It is only about five miles but the elevation is steep and several of us struggled with the heat and humidity as well (pack electrolyte tabs). Day two hours s about 9 miles and the elevations are more rolling. Day three is 9 miles of flat terrain criss crossing streams and jungle paths, and is the easiest! You will sleep on thin mattresses in bamboo huts so that was hard for some-I was always too tired to care and slept well until the roosters started crowing anywhere from midnight to four a.m. so you really reset your body clock to nature time. Every single person in my group would do the trip over. Lastly, disregard the packing list. Don’t bother packing a sheet. Don’t bother with any cold weather clothing either. High performance quick dry fabrics are the best because nothing else dries over night in the humidity. Pack an extra tooth brush to scrub the red clay dust from your feet- you will see what I mean especially on day two. Showers are just buckets of clean water you pour on yourself, so I would have packed a small wash cloth to scrub better.

    Debra

    Asked on April 15th, 2025

    If I want to add a person to this tour and share a room with them, is that doable?

    Accommodation
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten April 2025

      Yes you should be able to add another person to the booking. You just need to add their details to the booking prior to confirming the spaces.

      Debra

      TravelerWritten April 2025

      My partner needs a CPAP machine overnight & we would like to check whether power is available on the overnight rafthouse excursion (Day 2) and the basic overnight train (Day 4).

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten April 2025

      It is unlikely that the rafthouse excursion does not have electricity overnight. The trains do usually have electrical sockets but no USB

    Asked on February 10th, 2024

    Is it possible to extend the trip by a few days on an island in Thailand? Would like to hear the possibilities.

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten February 2024

      We can only add pre and post tour accommodation in the hotel that the tour starts and ends in. If you want to travel to the islands at the end of the tour, you would need to arrange this yourself. You can catch flights from Chiang Mai and Bangkok to Koh Samui or Phuket, depending on which islands you plan on visiting (East or West Coast). You can also catch an overnight train and a ferry to them for much cheaper.

      International airfare is not included in the cost of the tour. You will be responsible for booking your own flights.

      We don't arrange a transfer back to Bangkok, this tour ends in Chiang Mai so all travellers make their own way from there, themselves. We check out of the Chiang Mai hotel on Day 10 and the group and tour leader departs separately.

    I am enquiring about booking a tour for myself and my 2 children (aged 12 and 15) starting in Bangkok and finishing in Chiang Mai. I see on your website you have a 10 day tour that departs on the 3rd of December that might meet our requirements. Please provide details and availability of all your guided tours that commence at Bangkok during the first week of December. We would ideally like to experience the sights of Bangkok, Northern national parkland and Chiangmai Mai.
