| We are getting many inquiries for low budget tours and soft adventures. They have several weeks or even months
of holiday time so how long it takes to get from one place to another is not that important. They rather spend the
evening with a local Thai family, in a hill tribe village or inexpensive guesthouse. An air-conditioned hotel and 5 course
meals are not as important as the experience. A clean place to sleep, good friendly Thai and hill tribe people to be
around and a delicious simple meal is what they require. |  |
 The "Songtaew" |
With the price of gasoline going sky high the cost of a private vehicle with driver is too high for many who contact us for
their holiday. Also airfare is going up and up. For this reason we are now offering tours where you and your guide use local
transportation. We use air-conditioned buses when possible but also non-air conditioned buses, “Songtaews” (covered pick up
trucks with benches in the back), motorbike taxies in very rural areas, long tail boats, river taxies and trains. |
|
Meals will be in simple Thai restaurants and noodle shops with good clean food. You will visit local markets to purchase ingredients
to take to your Thai or hill tribe host family. Your guide and the family will prepare and cook the food and you can join in and
help if you wish. |
 Enjoying a Meal |
 Your bed in a Thai living room |
Evenings will be in clean inexpensive guesthouses when in the cities. In rural areas you will have a comfortable mattress with
clean pillow, sheet, blanket and mosquito net set up in your host family’s living room or veranda, just like the locals do. |
