This eclectic trip includes adventure, culture and a fascinating look into one of the least visited countries in the region: Burma. We visit two different hilltribe villages, the Lisu and the Akha, where we have ample time to visit and learn about how these people live. Our trip also includes a stop in Chiang Saen, the first kingdom in ancient Thailand, where 500+ year old temples are commonplace. Then we walk across the border to Burma and experience a very different culture from Thailand - one much less Westernized and less affected by the outside world.

Leaves Bangkok: Approximately 4:45 pm Fridays
Returns to Bangkok: Approximately 6:00 pm Sundays

Early evening flight from Bangkok to Chiang Rai and transfer (on own) to the Dusit Island Resort.
