Ethical hilltribe treks

There are a few more points which will help your trip run more smoothly.

  • Please ensure that shoulders and cleavage are covered, and the length of trousers/shorts come down to, at least, your knees. Skirts are not advised, but if worn, should be calf length or longer. Read about the dress code here
  • Please understand that you carry your own bags, so don't pack too much - you are welcome to store your main luggage at our foundation while the programme is in progress, and we will bring it when we collect you.
  • Suitcases, and bags which use wheels, are extremly impractical for the trip - please use daypack/backpack only, and leave large luggage at your guesthouse or at our foundation.
  • There are no ATMs once we leave Chiang Rai town, so please have cash prepared in advance. This money can be used to buy souvenirs, snacks and drinks, which aren't included in the tour price. Please don't forget that we also need the balance of the fee paid in cash (Thai Baht) when we pick you up.
  • Electricity is limited in most villages, and non-existent in some, so please don't rely on being able to charge batteries during the programme. Make sure your phone and camera batteries are fully charged before beginning the tour.
  • We do not provide toiletries (soap, toothpaste, towel, etc), so please check the 'what to bring' section carefully, to ensure you have what you need.
