The many different Hill Tribe Villages in the mountains
surrounding Chiang Rai are justly world famous and it is
possible to visit them - I am well known in many of villages.
I can also arrange for overnight stays in some of the
villages and retain the specialized services of Lahu and Akha
guides if desired.
If you prefer to avoid trekking and touring with large mixed groups then I am the guide for you! I also like to avoid the heavily beaten track and the overly touristic destinations! (However many of these destinations can be of great interest and tours of these can certainly be arranged.) Sometimes a large group, say of 12 or 15 persons or more is not well suited to jungle trekking because some individuals will want to travel faster than othersor may not be able to negotiate certain paths (be forewarned -it can be strenuous). Some want to stay longer at certain stopping points to enjoy the experience at leisure, whileothers may wish to forge ahead. Large groups also tend to disturb the quiet and peace of the mountain jungle forest and scare away the birds and animals we like to see and hear.
A large group also necessitates the hiring of additional guides and larger buses and more organizational delays. So a group of 1-6 persons is often best although I am to able to accommodate larger numbers if you desire.
My wish is to tailor any trek or tour to your personal interests and ability and I do not offer canned-no-substitution tours. Therefore I have not presented a long list of tours and treks to select from but only offer a small sample with estimated prices. What you finally decide to do will be only what you want to do, on your schedule and time limits.
Want to see the Buddhist Temples, Pagodas, Monuments, Markets, Parks, Rivers and other famous destinations in Chiang Rai City, Chiang Saen and Mae Sai? These are all well known to me and I can help make your sight-seeing trip to them enjoyable and informative. Upon request I can help you select a hotel or guest house in your budget range and of course I will organize all local transportation to take you to and from the starting points of our excursions.
