Safety
Trekking in this part of Thailand
is very safe and accidents are very
rare but still safety is always a
priority. A limited amount of accident
insurance is provided to cover some
medical bills in case of an injury
but it is advised that you have your
own comprehensive accident insurance.
What to wear
Wear light clothes as trekking in
this part of the world can be hot
and sweaty work. Shorts, T shirt and
a sun hat are ideal. Long trousers
are OK as they will protect your lower
legs more but will be hotter to wear.
Although hiking boots aren't a necessity
at least a sturdy pair of running
shoes should be worn. Some people
trek with sandals but they do leave
your feet open to be scratched by
vegetation also flip flops (thongs)
argent appropriate as they don't provide
enough support. In the rainy season
from April to October bring a rain
coat. Bring a change of clothes for
after the rafting. Please be sensitive
about your dress in the hill tribe
village short and t shirts are OK
but nothing to revealing please.

A small rucksack/day sack, shorts
and T shirt for trekking (long trousers
if you prefer), A change of clothes
(shorts & t shirt) especially
useful in the wet season to change
into at the end of the day, warm jumper/fleece
for cool season, Walking shoes, socks,
swimming suit, small towel/sarong,
insect spray, sun cream, raincoat
(rainy season), some toilet paper,
one bottle of water. Some money for
drinks and hill tribe crafts. |
