What a wonderful day, thanks to you! It's exactly what we were looking for: avoid the big tour operators and take advantage of the people who organize this wonderful day. Candy, the elephant, was great. Hoi, our guide, was super nice, as were all the staff involved. Thank you for everything, especially as it was my wife's birthday! My children have wonderful memories of it.

Perfect family visit to the elephant camp; the hosts were welcoming and happy to share their knowledge and love of elephants. It is a small-scale camp where time is taken for discovery. Authentic Thailand.

A big thank you to the Thai Trek Adventure team for this wonderful 14-day honeymoon trip. Everything was very well organized, from the choice of sites to visit to the selection of hotels and the discovery of Thai food. A top and very professional team. I highly recommend them. Thanks a thousand times again.

The trek we did yesterday was a magnificent day with Toy. Everything was perfect—the trek is truly beautiful and nothing like the usual treks offered in Chiang Mai. Toy took the time to give us many explanations about the local fauna and flora throughout the trek. We were amazed by what we saw and enjoyed excellent coffee harvested from the village. Even though today our bodies are giant sore muscles, I highly recommend this trek for a day in the jungle. Thank you for this perfect organization. We will come back to you for our future trips.

We had booked 2 excursions. The first was a visit around Chiang Mai. We were picked up around 8 a.m. from our hotel and went to magnificent Doi Suthep with views over the city, then visited a coffee plantation with beautiful vegetation, followed by a meal in an authentic Hmong village with very beautiful landscapes. The second day was elephant and rafting. We arrived at a farm on the edge of the jungle — magnificent. The elephants are completely free. Warm welcome, introduction to preparing the elephants’ food, then a magical walk with two female elephants. This proximity to the giants was in complete trust. Then the elephants were refreshed in the river, a memorable moment. Meal at the farm. Afterward, rafting down the river where we loved the landscapes and typical Thai huts, and we witnessed two elephants bathing. Thank you for organizing these two exceptional days.

I discovered Thai Trek Adventure by chance while searching for an elephant sanctuary concerned with animal welfare. I was connected with the "Doi Lom Elephant Rescue" sanctuary. We had a wonderful day accompanied by an amazing team. Friendly, welcoming, and genuinely caring both for the animals and for us tourists, they made this experience unforgettable. I highly recommend Thai Trek Adventure for your activities in this wonderful part of Thailand.

Hike today at Doi Suthep with magnificent discoveries: the Hmong village with its inhabitants of all ages! Their diverse plantations (coffee, lychee, oranges, banana trees…) amidst the forest mixing pines and eucalyptus. We were filled with the sounds of unfamiliar birds, dodged caterpillars, and observed butterflies. A well-deserved lunch by the lake with local specialties, swimming as desired, observing the mountain summit and the trail traveled before returning to Chiang Mai. A hike of about fifteen kilometers, mainly downhill. A fabulous experience. It was our third and last day with Thai Trek Adventure. No mistakes at all. I highly recommend! +++

A big thank you to the Thai Trek Adventure agency, which organized a tailor-made family trip for us to visit Northern Thailand. Five exceptional days with a team that, throughout the stay, allowed us to immerse ourselves in the history and local cultures through multiple stops in authentic villages along the roads near the Myanmar border. An immersion in nature with a trek off the beaten tourist path, rafting, and a visit to a small-scale elephant camp that respects the animals' well-being. Professional work and great availability before the trip to answer our questions and advise us. I highly recommend it!All previous messages you provided are positive reviews related to Thai Trek Adventure, highlighting excellent experiences with tours and excursions in Northern Thailand, including visits to Doi Inthanon, jungle treks, rice terraces, elephant camps, and the Golden Triangle.

A huge thank you to Thai Trek Adventure for organizing these days. We spent one day at Doi Inthanon and one day at the elephant camp. What can be said except that these were some of the best moments of our trip to Thailand. Our lovely guides transported us into the authenticity of Thailand. At the elephant camp, we felt privileged to get close to these animals in their natural environment and to have been able to take the time with them. In a small group (we were 5). The day spent in the jungle, visiting the rice terraces and the "Karen" villagers was a magnificent, timeless experience. I recommend them with my eyes closed!

We called on the agency to spend a day with the elephants. We had an excellent day. On the one hand, because the elephants are not exploited for tourism and are very well treated. On the other hand, because the people supervising us were all very kind and shared their knowledge with us. I will therefore recommend this agency to my loved ones.

A guide teaches you how to take care of them. Unforgettable moment. A must-do. Thank you, Thai Trek Adventure.Understood. I will translate directly without prefacing the translation with "Here is the English..." from now on.

Thank you to Thai Trek Adventure for the organization and the wonderful stay we had. We chose 2 days of trekking and 1 day at the Elephant Village. It was wonderful, the guides were attentive and adapted to our level during the trek. We were amazed. Words fail me regarding the elephant sanctuary; we had a touching and profound moment with the sanctuary survivors. The caretakers are passionate about the well-being of the elephants; it was moving and sincere. Thank you for these unforgettable moments.

Thanks again to them for this memorable adventure! We highly recommend their services to anyone who wants to discover Thailand in a different way.

Great experience! I regret not being able to do the 2 days of trekking due to lack of availability, but I was lucky to do the 1-day trek. An incredible moment of bonding with the guides and discovery of nature. It is one of the best experiences of my trip. I highly recommend it!

Thai Trek Adventure offers us not a trip but an experience at the heart of an authentic Thailand, whose beauty and magic they reveal through their commitment, passion, expertise, experience, and unwavering availability. 4 days living the North of Thailand in wonderful conditions with a lovely, passionate, and fascinating guide, and an incredible rafting/elephant day. They made our time in the North one of the most beautiful memories of our trip this summer. One downside: they gave us too many places to discover in Chiang Mai, which means we will have to come back!!!! Thank you, Thai Trek Adventure!

Whether it was transport, meals, or activities, everything went perfectly. It was a memorable day during which we took magnificent photos! Ae, our driver, went above and beyond for us and even took care of booking our car for the next day. David, the manager, also met us in the evening for the debrief.

Our 3-day, 2-night family adventure in Chiang Mai was a dream come true. From the moment we arrived in the jungle, surrounded by the beauty of nature, we were guided by our incredible guide, always there to protect us and share his knowledge. Thanks to him, we were able to discover the local fauna and flora in their purest state. The children enjoyed picking papayas straight from the trees, and we all loved swimming in a refreshing waterfall, a moment of total wonder! Throughout our journey, we had the chance to meet the inhabitants of small mountain villages. Their warm welcome and smiles added a touch of authenticity to this experience, far from mass tourism. We also had the honor of preparing meals for the elephants, an emotional experience, followed by a magical walk with these majestic giants and a unique moment bathing them in the river. The meals were delicious, always carefully prepared, allowing us to taste the local flavors. Each dish was truly a delight and a complete immersion in Thai culture. A big thank you to David, the agency manager, for his professionalism and kindness. Thanks to him, this trip was perfectly organized, and we lived a unique and memorable experience. We highly recommend this agency to anyone seeking an authentic adventure respectful of nature and local people. A journey that will remain engraved in our hearts forever! Thank you, THAI TREK ADVENTURE - Travel agency.

2 days of eco-trekking walking through the jungle and mountains of the north, we stayed in a Lahu village. Pick-up from the hotel and return to the airport. Good organization, a lovely guide who happily shares his passion for his environment and knowledge. A warm welcome in the village. Trek at a good level, between 2, to enjoy exceptional views. Off the beaten path, simplicity, respect, and sharing. A very beautiful memory, we recommend Thai Trek Adventure.

To visit the region around Chiang Mai and towards the Golden Triangle, we chose to use the services of this French-speaking agency managed by a Frenchman who fell in love with this part of Thailand and is eager to share his love for this environment and the local inhabitants. He offers a wide variety of activities with local guides and drivers who are very caring and kind. We chose the following: a short hike at Doi Suthep starting from a Hmong village (which was celebrating their New Year at that time, magnificent), ascent to Doi Inthanon, the roof of Thailand (which we liked less due to the crowds and limited view from the summit), visit to a small-scale elephant camp where we learned a lot (the elephants are very well treated), a 4-night/3-day circuit in the Golden Triangle where we visited very remote places far from tourist sites (except in Chiang Rai) thanks to the excellent local guide Titi, where we were able to experience the life of the inhabitants and local ethnic groups. We highly recommend the services of Thai Trek Adventure; you will have wonderful memories of this magnificent region.

Two timeless days… I took the 1 day 1 night package at the elephant conservation camp. I was traveling solo, so you can imagine I was a bit stressed about sleeping alone away from the city… and so far it is the most beautiful experience I have had during my 3 weeks in Thailand. For me, all the beauty was precisely when the other people left (I was the only one sleeping on site) and I found myself alone with the camp people, and at the same time with the elephants! So authentic!!! We went into the jungle to gather their food, visited the nearby village, then fed the elephants again… all in complete intimacy. And what to say about waking up… waking up in such a setting… In short, it was exceptional. I will keep these memories forever and I am very grateful to have lived this experience. A big thank you to Toni and the people at the camp, especially Saki, a 22-year-old Burmese who accompanied me during this stay and made it unforgettable with his exceptional kindness. And thank life!!!! "Conservation Camp 1 day + 1 night"

We spent 2 memorable days with Thai Trek. One day and night in their elephant sanctuary (preparing their lunch, cutting grass and banana trunks for the next day, walking with them and a bath much appreciated by both them and us). At the end of the day, we were taken care of by Gon, the local guide, for the discovery of the village and especially the grocery store which also served as a "bistro." Fully immersed in this unknown land, this moment will clearly remain one of our best memories in Thailand. The next day, we went trekking in the mountains with Gon, always as interesting in his explanations and creations of all kinds (bamboo glass, banana leaf hat, etc.), then we followed with a rafting descent which we recommend over raft walking... much more fun! We highly recommend Thai Trek!

Back from our trip to Thailand, I’m sharing my good tips!! We were able to do 2 MAGNIFICENT excursions with Thai Trek Adventure. One-day trek in the jungle: a superb day accompanied by 3 people in the jungle. The guide gave us explanations about the fauna and flora. Magnificent views. The pace of the hike was adapted to the group. I was with my 2 children (13 and 10 years old); they enjoyed walking in this lush nature. My daughter, who could have had difficulties, was cared for by the 2 people accompanying our small group. Elephant camp: a suspended moment with these impressive pachyderms within a welcoming family. We had the chance to share a moment with the elephants, discover them, feed them, and prepare medicinal balls. My children, initially impressed by contact with the elephants, quickly gained confidence and enjoyed the moment thanks to the kindness and patience of the people at the camp. Sleeping on site is a plus to feel fully immersed in this Thai countryside. The organization is top-notch.

Incredible experience, the best day in Thailand. This is what we expected from an elephant sanctuary, with no mistreatment. The people there are so kind. A peaceful day, far from the city. What we appreciated was being in a small group—only 4 people in total, alone with the elephants. Well organized. An unforgettable day. Many thanks!

Wonderful day at this elephant sanctuary organized by Thai Trek Adventure – Travel Agency. The 3 elephants are pampered and endearing because of their story. I really appreciated being in a small group of 6 people. For our part, we chose the bamboo rafting in the afternoon, and it was just exceptional to pass through several spots where the elephants bathe in the river. I highly recommend it. Thanks again.

Visit of the Chiang Mai region today. Josh, our wonderful guide, took us around all day with lots of patience and kindness. Excursion program: the Doi Suthep temple and the Wat Pha Lat monastery, 13 km from Chiang Mai; then the coffee plantation and the Hmong village of Ban Khun Chang Khian, at 1,400 meters altitude, with the tasting of a very good coffee and a nice meal; to finish, the Huay Tun Tao lake with its picturesque bamboo huts and giant animal statues. It was a beautiful day filled with joyful moments. Thanks to David from Thai Trek Adventure and to Mr. Josh.

During our two weeks of “Thai” vacation with friends, we had the excellent idea of booking two days of excursions with Thai Trek Adventure. **Day 1: The rice terraces of Ban Pa Pong Piang and Doi Inthanon** A very beautiful day, immersed in traditional Thai life, especially in the Karen village. Stunning rice field landscapes, even though they weren’t being cultivated at the moment, and a pleasant little hike on Doi Inthanon. All of this, it must be said, was wonderfully guided by our driver/guide Mister Josh! A real character—kind, funny, and endearing—who makes you “experience his country.” His exceptional laugh is contagious, and you simply can’t have anything but a good day in his company! Thank you, Mister Josh! **Day 2: Visit to the elephant sanctuary** Far from the sensation-seeking crowds, a preserved place where these majestic and emblematic animals, often with difficult pasts, can hope to enjoy a peaceful retirement. Learning about the life of a “mahout,” an impressive encounter with the animals, and extremely informative explanations about the lives and habits of these wonderful creatures who deserve respect. You will never look at elephant rides the same way again after this...

A day spent with the elephants: incredible!!! Great organization!! Only kind people around us!! And we were fortunate to have the company of two super kind French volunteers who explained the lives of these elephants so well! An unforgettable moment.

We chose the 1-day package with the elephants’ feeding in the morning and bamboo rafting in the afternoon. A rich experience with wonderful people. We were lucky to have the entire day just for ourselves.

We chose the full-day package with bamboo rafting: a memorable experience spent alongside three elephants rescued in this sanctuary by Tony. A warm team, flawless organization, and excellent guidance. Not to be missed if you are visiting Chiang Mai! Then, a day of trekking in the jungle with our guide Troy and his teammate: a man of rare kindness, passionate, and overflowing with knowledge! If you are curious and want to learn more about the Thai jungle and its treasures, don’t hesitate!

We had a very beautiful day visiting the WONDERFUL WAT CHALOEM PRAKIAT. Excellent service, care, advice, vehicle comfort and driving, and a very good choice of itinerary. (You do need to be in decent shape, though,) but it’s magnificent. A big thank you to Mr. Pong.

We did the eco-trek program with the local guide named Simon, and it was amazing! He is very funny, cheerful, and full of enthusiasm! The landscapes were stunning, and the food was delicious.

A day of hiking in the jungle with a guide who shares his knowledge and passion, in a small group, far from mass tourism—a beautiful nature day where you learn so many things. And two days of guided trekking with an overnight stay in a mountain village, incredible landscapes, a cave full of bats—two days that really do you good if you love peace and the beauty of nature, all perfectly well organized.

We took the elephant sanctuary day with Thai Trek Adventure on 23/04/25, with bamboo rafting on the river in the afternoon (not enough water flow for rafting). It was a wonderful day, with pick-up at our hotel in Chiang Mai in a comfortable minibus. The morning with the elephants was amazing (preparing their food with detailed explanations), then getting close to the 3 elephants, walking with them, and finally bathing in the river (we splashed the elephants and could even stand right next to them—we ended up soaked but happy!). The meal was good. The sanctuary staff were adorable and attentive. The bamboo rafting was very peaceful and also allowed us to pass by another huge elephant sanctuary, where you can admire the elephants and even see them bathing. At the end, the guide even took us to swim in another part of the river. In short, go with your eyes closed—you will live a memorable day. Thanks again!

Hello, I went on a jungle trekking adventure. There were only two of us with the two guides, and it was absolutely amazing. We walked for about 5 hours, but with many breaks where Troy, our guide who was born and lives here, explained the local flora and fauna. We didn’t meet anyone else all day and had a picnic in a fabulous spot. I highly recommend this outing.

As a family, we spent one of the best days of our lives (and the best day of our trip so far!) deep in the jungle! We will remember it for a long time: we learned a lot about the local flora (what can be eaten, what heals, etc.) and the jungle fauna (we didn’t see any tigers or pythons, but we did see a chameleon, a jungle turtle, beautiful butterflies, birds, insects, caterpillars, etc.); the guides Troy and Yo were fantastic—caring with the children and true jungle experts; we were accompanied by 3 adorable dogs; the meal was delicious; and the organization by Thai Trek was excellent! It was an exceptional day, which still requires good physical condition, and I recommend Thai Trek Adventure without hesitation! Thank you to David for his professionalism and responsiveness!

A simply unforgettable day for my son, my husband, and myself. Marked by simplicity, peace, and kindness, we spent the whole day with the team alongside the 3 elephants there. We left with stars in our eyes and our hearts full. Thank you again for this day. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND it with eyes closed!!! Go for it!

Thai Trek Adventure organized for our family (2 adults and 2 children) a breathtaking three-day trip in northern Thailand (the Golden Triangle, the Thailand/Laos/Myanmar border region, and the tribal areas of the Akha and Palong). A unique experience, thanks in particular to our wonderful guides (the guide and the minivan driver). Thai Trek Adventure organisierte für unsere Familie (2 Erwachsene, 2 Kinder) eine atemberaubende dreitägige Reise in Nordthailand (Goldenes Dreieck, Grenzgebiet Thailand/Laos/Burma, Stammesgebiete der Akha und Palong). Ein einzigartiges Erlebnis, insbesondere dank unserer wunderbaren Begleiter (der Reiseleiter und der Minivan-Fahrer).

We spent a wonderful day in Doi Inthanon National Park. The impressive waterfall, the long and peaceful walk through the jungle guided by our Karen guide, and the newly transplanted rice fields (a serene and truly beautiful landscape) completely enchanted us.

A magnificent immersion in the jungle thanks to Simon from Thai Trek Adventure and David’s organization. Stunning landscapes and a true immersion in the villages we passed through. The 2-day trek is very doable, and the welcome in the village was excellent!

We spent 3 days as a family discovering the “Golden Triangle” with our great guide Alex and our driver Pat. We especially enjoyed visiting the different local villages of the North and meeting the ethnic minorities, far from the tourist crowds, as well as spending a night in a local guesthouse in the middle of the jungle. The program of this tour included: visiting a cave, exploring Buddhist temples, discovering local markets, visiting tea plantations, a boat ride on the Mekong all the way to Laos, and enjoying beautiful panoramas. Thank you to David for the organization, and thank you to Alex and Pat for these wonderful discoveries. We truly felt transported!

An exceptional day at the Elephant Preservation Camp with Toni, far from overtourism. We spent a magical day respecting the elephants’ rhythm, taking part in preparing their meals and going on a walk with them. My eyes still sparkle just looking at the photos. I highly recommend it. Thank you to Thai Trek Adventure for this wonderful day.

Rice fields and Doi Inthanon day. A fantastic day with our driver and our Karen guide for the trek. Lots of magnificent landscapes (waterfalls, jungle, rice fields) and very nice encounters with Thai people. Only the peaks of Doi Inthanon weren’t very visible because of the bad weather, but that didn’t spoil the day at all. We were with 2 children (6 and 8 years old); the walks had no real difficulty, but good shoes are recommended. In July, don’t forget a rain poncho.

Thank you for this wonderful visit around Chiang Mai. We especially enjoyed the visit to the monastery as well as the break at the café with its magnificent view over the jungle. Discovering the Hmong village and ending the day by the lake with the carbets was great. We thank our guide for his availability and kindness. Great organization and superb discoveries!

Great organization of excursions that are original and sometimes off the beaten tourist tracks! This is the second time we’ve booked with you, and we have nothing to say except thank you. (Customized day at the rice terraces of Ban Pa Pong Piang + Huay Tung Tao. Private one-day visit of Chiang Rai temples. Two-day trekking followed by a day at the elephant preservation camp with rafting – 3 days / 2 nights).

Off we went for our trekking day, starting from a very small “Khon Muang” village, with pomelos and avocados growing in their gardens… then we began the ascent into the humid forest, with butterflies, mushrooms, and insects all around. Our Thai guide, a specialist in local flora and fauna, showed us many species of plants (medicinal, healing, culinary, utilitarian, etc.), as well as wild flowers and fruits. A true delight for the senses. The climb up to 1,500 meters was tough—especially for me as a bit of a beginner. That’s where we had our lunch, right in the middle of the jungle, carefully prepared for us and absolutely delicious. We then followed a stream—almost like canyoning. Not very easy, but exciting and perfectly manageable. After that, we cooled off at a hidden waterfall deep in the jungle. A chance to rest and even swim in incredibly crystal-clear and refreshing water. An excellent day—we are really happy with our trek! (Jungle Adventure Trek – 1 day)

Hello, I just wanted to thank you again for this wonderful day spent on the Pha Dok Sieo trail and at the Ban Pa Pong Piang rice fields. Too bad about the heavy rain at the pagodas at the end of the day, but well—it is the season! It didn’t take away from the fact that we had breathtaking views all day long.

A wonderful day with Josh today visiting the White and Blue Temples in Chiang Rai, as well as the Big Buddha at Wat Huay Pla Kang, which is truly majestic. Josh took great care of us all day, and we had lots of meaningful exchanges with him. Also, our communication with David to prepare this day was very smooth, both by email and WhatsApp. I highly recommend Thai Trek Adventure!

A timeless day… From pickup to drop-off, everything was perfect. The site is nestled in the mountains by a river, where we were warmly welcomed by Noï who runs the camp — and from then on, everything unfolded seamlessly… the magic truly happened. So many unforgettable memories with these elephants. Thank you to the whole team for this unforgettable day!

We spent 3 unforgettable days in the Golden Triangle. A big thank you to David for organizing the trip, for his responsiveness during our exchanges, and for making us feel at ease. And thank you to our guide, Nut, from whom we learned so much about the country, its traditions, cultures, and religions… Finally, many thanks to our amazing driver Oun, who was simply adorable with us and our children, and whose van was very comfortable. Here are a few photos I’m sharing with you, though they may not fully capture the flavor of the wonderful memories we are taking home with us.

2-day / 1-night eco-trek in the jungle with our family and two teenagers (12 and 14 years old). It was an incredible experience: breathtaking nature, a bat cave, overnight stay in a Lahu village where we played with the children, a waterfall, and rafting. Simon, our guide, was fantastic and spoke very good English. We 100% recommend this experience—just keep in mind it’s best suited for good walkers. Thank you, Thai Trek Adventure!
