Trekking in Thailand can be filled with wonderful experiences if you choose the right trekking operator. Many operators in Thailand take trekkers to villages filled with tourists with little or no hill tribe culture. All Thailand Experiences is the only one allowed to take visitors into the hill tribe villages in our area as we respect their customs and traditions. They are our personal friends that we have known all our lives. You will be welcomed into their homes as invited guests. The people of the villages are farmers and do not look to the visitor as a source of income. The people are shy but friendly and are perhaps more interested in you then you are in them. Interaction with the daily life of the villagers is encouraged and their customs, traditions and lifestyle will be explained to you. We will educate you about the do's and don'ts in each village so as not to offend them or their spirits that watch over the village. This means you will have a richly rewarding experience that is difficult to find in today's modern Thailand. Food during your trek is always delicious and there is plenty of it. Sleeping will be in a clean house with your host family. During your village trek you will meet Lisu, Lahu, Akha, Karen, and Shan hill tribe people. You will see these people working their fields on almost vertical sloops in their colorful costumes. The views of the surrounding area is spectacular from vistas on mountain tops we must go over to reach these villages. Hilltribe village vista. Karen hilltribe Harvesting corn. Lahu girls.
