Review Body: For anyone looking for a nature-focused trekking trip 👀🍃👇🏻, I highly recommend this one! We went on the Huay Kub Kab trip, visiting Huay Sathan Waterfall and Doi Pha Sam Liam. What makes this trip special is the trekking. You’ll come across waterfalls that few people know about, even unnamed ones that aren’t on Google Maps. If you’re worried about walking slowly or struggling with the hike, the guides take excellent care of everyone. Even when I felt carsick and had to continue walking uphill, the guides were attentive, making sure we could rest when needed. The views at the end are totally worth it. It makes all the effort disappear and you get amazing photos. Thank you for this wonderful experience, and a big thanks to guides Game, Frank, and Krit for taking such great care of us. This trip was fun, friendly, and unforgettable!

Review Body: We went on the Huay Kub Kab trip on January 22–23, 2022. The guides took excellent care of us and our fellow travelers were all friendly. The accommodation was great, and the atmosphere was absolutely stunning. The homestay owners were super lovely, and their dog, Mee, was so affectionate! The local dishes were wonderfully nostalgic, and we enjoyed the evening with live music. Everyone was singing like a “Golden Microphone” contestant! Everything was amazing. The guides even organized a grilled pork BBQ game, which left an unforgettable impression. Can’t wait to join the gang again. Love it so much 😚 Thank you!

Meet your host

Pop, Orn, Maprang, and James are a close-knit team brought together by their love for trekking and discovering hidden places. Pop, once an engineer in Bangkok, and his girlfriend, Orn, spent their free time exploring Thailand’s trails. Everything changed when they met James and Maprang, another adventurous couple, who introduced them to a remote village in Chiang Mai. The simplicity and warmth of the community had a lasting impact on them, leading them to leave city life behind. Now they not only share breathtaking trails but also help local hill tribes earn a sustainable income. By bringing people to these hidden trails, they hope to support the hill tribe community and share this incredible experience with others.
