Thailand - Expeditions and Adventure Travel

Remote, wild, and some of the last true jungles in Thailand will be the home of this trekking expedition. A true adventure in Thailand avoiding all the main tourist areas and one of the last effective wildernesses to be discovered.

We will spend time with mainly local Karen people, the main ethnic group in the area and originally from the Burmese lands.
We trek through forests and rural areas with small hills, passing rivers and some villages along the way.

River Kwai

After a short stop at Kanchanaburi to visit the historical Bridge of the River Kwai, we stay overnight on tranquil floating river rafts. The next days bring us deep into the remote areas, trekking with local Karen guides from Sangklaburi to Umphang. We trek for 4 days passing rivers, sleeping in village houses or camping out in the wild and even get the opportunity to ride elephants.

Arriving at Umphang for a night, we then trek and raft to the largest waterfalls in Thailand, which are set in lush surroundings. We continue the trek with white water rafting and more falls, villages and wilderness before coming to Mae Sot town before heading back to Bangkok.
 

Facilities are basic except in the main towns but we can expect a real sense of accomplishment.
