The tour starts in Bangkok (day time activities can be arranged) in the evening we take the night train up to Chang Mai. We arrive in Chang Mai in the morning. The day will be spent doing optional activities. Here is the following activities to choose from:

  • Tiger Kingdom
  • Jungle Flight
  • Flight of the gibbon
  • Butterfly farm
  • Insect farm
  • Elephant painting
  • Monkey School
  • Snake Show
  • Water fall
  • Chang Mai Zoo (Only place that has been able to breed Pandas)
  • Bicycle tour around town
  • Rock Climbing
  • White Water Rafting
  • Because there are so many activities available to do we let you choose which one or ones to do. In the evening we will check out the night market which is a 1 kilometre stretch of all sorts of vendors selling local hand made products, food, drinks, and an assortment of other things.

    The next morning you we be picked up at around 9am to start your 3 day trek. You will trek through the jungle up to the hill tribes, where you will spend the night in a local hill tribe village, you will get a chance to eat their local food and see how the hill tribes live day by day. During your 3 day trek you will ride elephants, go white water rafting, and bamboo rafting.

    When you return from your trek in the early evening you will have the night to relax and get a massage by blind people then you can go out for some drinks at the local bars or clubs.

    The next day we will drive to Chang Rai (3 hour drive). We will arrive mid day and spend the rest of the day either walking around checking out the town, or having a round of golf or going to the driving range (both next to our hotel) or you can hang out at the pool or work out at the large gym at the hotel. That evening we will wander around the night market and have dinner and watch some live music. If people want to go out at night there is an array of bars and pubs.

    Once we get up (we will agree on a time the night before) we will drive to Mae Sai which is the border town to burma, we will check into our beautiful hotel. Depending on what time we arrive (this is the joy of renting our own vehicle) we will either cross over to Burma that same day or the next day. This is the joys of having the flexibility with our own vehicle.

    The next day will we drive over to the golden triangle and take a boat trip and visit all 3 countries in less than an hour. We will stop over in Laos and visit a local market. Where you can try king cobra whiskey and buy loads of cheap goods like clothing, purses, wooden hand carved lana style souvenirs, and cheap alcohol and tobacco. After our boat trip around the golden triangle we will drive back to Chiang Rai and spend the night at our fancy hotel.

    The following day we will drive to Pai (5 hours). Which is a very scenic drive through the mountains. When we arrive in Pai we will check into our amazing Thai style resort. We will spend the evening checking things out around town getting a feel for the place.

    The next 4 days will be spent in Pai doing an array of activities. Including tubing, Pai Canyon, Cooking School, Hot Springs, Waterfalls, Chinese Village (tea tasting), piranha fishing, and basically anything else you feel like.

    The trip will come to a end after our great stay in Pai we will head back to Chaing Mai to catch the night train back to Bangkok.

Chang Mai was founded in 1296 and is surrounded by a moat and wall to keep nearby Burmese invaders away. Chang Mai has turned into a modern city, but with the old city inside the moat and 700 year old wall still keeping with its old traditions. This is where we will do our jungle trek and visit some of the hill tribes!

Chiang Rai is the most northern province in Thailand. The city was founded by King Meng Rai in 1262. It was conquered by Burma and remained under Burmese rule until 1786. In 1432 the Emerald Buddha (the most sacred buddha statue in thailand that is now in the grand palace) was discovered in an earthquake in Chiang Rai.

Mae Sai is the Northernmost district in Thailand, bordering Burma. We stay in a very nice hotel right along the border over looking into Burma. We will spend the day checking things out in Burma and doing lots of shopping (everything is ridiculously cheap!) $1 for ray bans, $8 brand name shoes, $1 for DVD, the list can go on! Burma is also a very untouched country so its pretty cool to be able to say you spent the day in burma. Its also very safe in that area so you don’t need to worry about having any problems.

Pai is a small little town just north of Chiang Mai, it has become a very popular spot because its in the beautiful hills and is very chill and peaceful but still with lots to do. While in Pai we will visit a couple waterfalls, a canyon, a chinesse village for tea and dried fruit tasting, go tubing down a river with an amazing view of the mountains, and have the chance to volunteer at a local school. The food in Pai is some of the best in Thailand with amazing local thai food and lots of choices of western food. Pai always seems to capture peoples hearts and has become home to many foreigners.
