5.00For the relatively fit traveller who wants some struggle to enjoy! The group had 3 tourists (including myself) and the guide, who was also the driver and cook. Great tour. The guide, Tan, made sure we were well fed and shared interesting stuff about nature and the people along the way.
Highly recommend for outdoor enthusiasts

5.00I recently undertook the 3 day Mae Taeng highlands Jungle Trek run by Active Thailand and it was a fantastic experience. Everything was so well organised and it felt like genuine exposure to authentic Thai culture and natural landscapes. The food was good, guides were friendly and informative, and accommodation was comfortable with stunning views. I booked online and it was a super easy process and they were very responsive to my emails. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves the outdoors and wants to see more of Thailand than just the main tourist spots.
