Please take notice that any text that is underlined is clickable to
and more information.
Unlike other tour operators we will custom
design a tour or soft adventure just for you.
All you need to do
is fill out the custom
tour request form and we will get back
to you quickly with a detailed itinerary with price.
Or you can call us using SKYPE free on your computer.
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. |

Our village treks are for 3 days/2 nights,
all inclusive.
DAY ONE
| You will depart your hotel or guest house in Chiang Mai at 7:30 am with your guide to the bus station.
Here you will ride the bus to a quiet elephant camp for a 1 1/2 hour elephant ride through streams and
over mountains to a Lisu hill tribe village. You will return to the camp then your guide will flag down
another bus to the city of Fang. Here you will have lunch of your choice (lunch not included in the price)
and visit the local Market. From here you will take a "Songteaw" to see a
beautiful Burmese style temple then on to the quiet town of Thaton. Here you
will check into your bungalow at beautiful Wat Thaton Temple.
Your guide will show you around this little sleepy town and have dinner
of your choice. (Dinner is not included in the price). Return to your bungalow. |

DAY TWO
After an all-you-can-eat breakfast consisting of toast, eggs, fruit, coffee
or tea we will hike over the hills to a small Lisu village of only 4 families
for a short rest. We then travel on to a Lahu
village for lunch.
We walk over another mountain to an Akha
village for another rest and finally to our host Akha family in a different
Akha village. Here we will have another delicious dinner and spend the evening.
This village has no electricity, toilet or shower.
DAY THREE
After another hearty breakfast we will return to the Lisu village, passing through
hill tribe villages, in time for lunch and shower. We then take a private long
tail boat to Chiangrai stopping at a Lahu village and Hot Springs along the
way. You may spend the evening in Chiangrai, take an evening flight to Bangkok
or return with us to Chiangmai arriving around 8 PM.
