We offer 13 Thai hill tribes holidays. Our best sellers include cultural tours meeting village people, hill tribe treks to remote villages and staying in huts for a homestay experience. Trek across rice paddies, sloping valleys and dive under waterfalls; travel down river on a bamboo raft; visit local markets and discover intriguing traditional handicrafts. These unusual, wilderness Thai hill tribes holidays can be taken either as a volunteering holiday, as a small group holiday or can be tailor made - either option will give you a real insight into the lives of remote and fascinating people.

It was an excellent holiday one of our best holidays. The local guide was lovely, he tried to teach us an elephant song!

The temples (including Angkor Wat) around Siam Reap were wonderful. But our two day trip on the Mekong to Luang Prabang and, Luang Prabang itself were very memorable. It was a wondeful experience in every respect. The organisation and choice of hotels and guides was excellent.

Most memorable? The warm welcome from all the people we met, the fun everyone was having at the Thai New Year festival, the variety of experience each day, and being able to see so much of the country.

The most memorable parts included staying in such basic accommodation and meeting the tribal people. Also the bamboo rafting. Our guide and porter were both brilliant and added such a lot to our enjoyment.

We all have different highlights, but generally agree that the day we had a boat trip down the Maekok river, followed by an elephant ride where we got to ride the elephants like a mahout and then spent a night in an Akha village, was our most memorable day.
