Visiting a hilltribe village is a special experience, but it may be a little different from what you're used to. There are a few “roadbumps” that may make it too unpleasant or difficult for you to go. Make sure you think the following things through first before signing up….

Visiting a hilltribe village requires…

  • Walking up steep hills and for long distances

  • Going to the bathroom in the woods, instead of in a toilet

  • Washing with cold water or not at all

  • Eating a lot of rice and other traditional Thai food for all three meals

  • Living without electricity and email
