| Spend a night in a Lahu hill tribe village
on this Chiang Mai trek to the Mae Tang area.
Really get to see the hill tribe ways as well
as getting to know your fellow trekkers a
whole lot better! Also get the chance to ride
an elephant and take on the white water rapids
of the Mae Tang River. This is an excellent
trip to sample what Northern Thailand has
to offer and a great opportunity to overnight
in a real Lahu hill tribe village. |

have breakfast before you are picked up on
your first day. Take one bottle of water with

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. Before commencement of
the white water rafting you will have a safety
briefing.
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) aren’t appropriate
as they don't provide enough support. In the
rainy season from April to October bring a
rain coat.
What to bring
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. Bring a change
of clothes to change into after the whitewater
rafting…..You will get wet! |
