Holiday information
Dietary requirements:
We can cater for vegetarian and vegan diets.
Indigenous communities:
This holiday benefits the Karen communities across the Ban Mae Khlang Luan and Mae Sapok regions through the creation of new jobs from existing skills such as, cooking, Tuk Tuk driving and rafting, educating tourists on traditional practices. Travellers can stay in a Karen owned homestay and eat at Karen owned restaurants, improving the local economy.
Responsible Travel
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) holiday so that you can travel knowing we've worked to maximise the benefits of your holiday to local people and places, and minimise any negative impacts.
Planet
We are very aware of the environmental impact that travel has on the world, both in terms of the travel itself and our office function.
Adventures: • We actively support a local elephant home and through our collaboration it has been able to stop all elephant riding at the home and set a great example in the local area in how to provide a much better life for its elephants. Whilst riding still takes place in other ‘camps’, more and more are following the lead of the home we support and understanding that the welfare of the elephants is the most important element. • Whilst access to clean water and remaining hydrated is vitally important - and we provide drinking water throughout the adventure - we committed to removing all single use plastic water bottles from our adventures by the end of 2020 and instead provide every traveller with a re-useable water bottle and take large tanks of drinking water with us to ensure all can remain suitably hydrated. In addition, we continue to work with all of our accommodation partners (owned and operated by people from the local area and community) to help them transition from the provision of plastic water bottles to glass bottles in rooms.
Head Office: • We don’t send out paper brochures – everything is available online and in PDF format • We use recycled paper • We allow our team to work from home where possible (of course our Guide team don’t work from home!) to not only save time wasted commuting but also to reduce unnecessary use of cars, buses and even Tuk Tuks!
People
OUR TEAM
We all live, work and play in Chiang Mai and Northern Thailand. Our staff are local to the region therefore able to give expert insight and advice throughout our adventures. All are passionate advocates of the beauty and culture of Northern Thailand and love nothing more than giving an insight into this part of the world to all of our travellers both through their own knowledge and also enabling conversations and shared experiences with the communities we visit.
We also use additional local guides when for trekking and rafting experiences allowing for even more local expertise and of course employment. We ensure that all of our staff, and local additional activity guides, are paid a fair wage and are respected as a vital and integral part of our adventures. In addition, we take the on-going training of our team very seriously, from our introductory two month training programme to on-going learning and skills development in all areas of our operations.
GROUP SIZES
By operating exclusively with small groups we try to minimise the potential negative impact on local communities and maximise the positive impact. With small groups of this nature, and the number of guides accompanying each adventure, we aim to maximise the interaction between travellers and communities, provide translation allowing us to share stories and learning and also to work with our travellers to encourage the purchase of local food and products from the communities we pass through and spend time in.
SMALL LOCAL RESTAURANTS
We only use small local restaurants and food-stalls throughout the adventure not only delivering fantastic local specialities but also delivering money directly into the local community.
