2-day Chiang Mai jungle trek with a Karen village overnight, bamboo rafting on Mae Wang River, waterfall swim, and a rescued-elephant sanctuary.
“a brilliant trek. Some tough uphill bits but worth it. Lee, our guide, was amazing and showed us a tarantula in its nest. Honestly was cosy and comfy. Food was delicious and I loved the campfire.”
Two days on Cheow Lan Lake: swims in Nam Rad, boat safaris at sunset, and an overnight in an air-conditioned floating bungalow.
“An amazing experience, we were able to see monkeys, gibbons, hornbills and even a wild elephant on the boat safaris. We were all looked after so well by our guide Oil and everything was extremely well organised.”

“This was a wonderful way to be introduced to Cambodia’s culture and historic landmarks! Our guide Vithyea and driver were wonderful - having a private tour at Angkor Wat was such a great decision and we saw the highlights without having to travel in a big group tour. One of my favorite moments from the…”

Private 2-day trip from Bangkok to Damnoen Saduak, River Kwai, a bamboo floatel stay, and Erawan’s 7-level waterfalls.
“Our family had a fantastic experience on this trip. The organisation and logistics were superb, but the highlight of the whole trip was our guide, Ben. She was with us throughout, giving us interesting information on all the sights and sounds, but she also went above and beyond a normal tour guide - recommending Thai…”
Two days trekking from Chiang Mai through Mae Win and Mae Wang, Karen village life, and waterfall swims with campfire stargazing.
“Great activity. It rained a bit so there was some mud and the ways were slippery at times, but the organisation can't control the weather offcourse, overall there were no problems and the hike isn't the hardest to do. Our guides had a great speed, not too fast, not too slow. There are plenty of…”
2 days in Mae Taeng, Chiang Mai: jungle trek to Tard Mok waterfall, river tubing, Saa Gee slide, optional elephant observation, forest stay.
“This was amazing!! Being picked up at your hotel, starting the day with a hike through the jungle which led out to a waterfall, going tubing, elephant feeding and doing a waterfall slide, to end the day near the bonfire with a home cooked meal. The scenery is beautiful, and the guides do everything to…”
Jungle trekking, Mae Taeng tubing, Saa Gee waterfall sliding, and ethical elephant feeding in Chiang Mai Province for about 2 unforgettable days.

The guide was fantastic and the food was delicious. We enjoyed the feeding and bathing with the elephants very much and had the feeling that…”
A 2-day slow boat from Chiang Rai to Luang Prabang via Pakbeng, with early transfers, border help, and long Mekong views.
“As long as you know what you're getting in for it's class. Having a guide to help you through customs is amazing, it would have been hard getting through without. Seats are comfortable enough if you're early enough to get a good one- better to get up early both days and secure a seat than…”
2-day Khao Yai private tour from Bangkok with bat swarms, dry-forest hiking, Haew Suwat swimming, and elephant salt-lick stakeouts.
“The guide and all staff at my accommodation were very friendly and helpful, I had the best experience ever. We only found 1 wild elephant, but the difference between seeing one in the jungle and 10 in a reserve made all the difference. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
