Experience Thailand through the eyes of a local, as your Thai tour leader gives you a first-hand insight into the exotic and colourful tapestry that makes up this vibrant country. Wandering around historic towns and visiting pagodas gives travellers an awareness of these important cultural relics and the importance of them being preserved and protected, so that they can be enjoyed and appreciated by future generations. The hill tribe people living in the border regions of Thailand, Laos and Burma also have rich, enduring and diverse cultures, which are unveiled on this trip.
Equally important your Thai tour leader helps you to understand the traditions of these proud people, ensuring you don’t commit any cultural ‘faux pas’. As you trek in northern Thailand you encounter various different tribal groups. You will also find that our porters all come from surrounding villages. Another highlight of this trip is a night spent at the Lampang Thai Elephant Conservation Centre, dedicated to ensuring that these gentle creatures can co-exist with humans in a way that benefits all.
To support tour programs in Thailand this operator is training their tour leaders on a variety of issues, from environmental awareness to First Aid. This not only assists in the conduct of a tour but also provides leaders with important life skills. By only employing tour leaders born and bred in the regions they visit, they are supporting local economies. Through offering employment and steady revenue, tourism can ultimately make a real positive difference to local communities.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
