Thailand Jungle Adventure

Learn to survive in the real jungle

Trekking through the jungle can be a wonderful experience or it can be a nightmare. If your guide has little or no experience it could be a disaster. The environmental impact of taking people in the jungle must also be taken into consideration.

Our guides have lived with the jungle for decades
and know of its importance for us, the wildlife, and other hill tribes.

We need the jungle for harvesting herbs, spices,
medicines, fruits, berries,mushrooms, and vegetables.

We know of its rewards as well as it's dangers.

Along the way we will stop at a local market to purchase food needed for the trip. We will arrive at a beautiful quiet Lahu village where we have our lunch before we start hiking for about 4 hours in old growth forest trail with tall trees and beautiful vistas to another village and overnight.

We will hike up into the mountains passing colorful hill tribe people working their Tea fields on almost vertical slopes. We will then follow a stream passing many waterfalls as we enter the jungle. We will stop many times to harvest wild fruits and berries along with mushrooms, bamboo shoots, herbs and spices. Your guide will explain the many medical uses for some of the plants growing wild in the jungle.

We will stop at a waterfall to enjoy a hearty lunch the guides brought along for us. One of the guides will travel ahead of us to spot colorful birds, orchids, wild flowers, butterflies, and interesting wildlife to show to us. Around three or four in the afternoon we will reach our camp site where we will spend the evening. Our guides will place banana leaves on a bamboo frame that will be our hut for sleeping. All cups, rice bowls, chopsticks, spoons, and cooking utensils will be made out of bamboo. The rice will be wrapped in banana leaves and placed in bamboo. Vegetables and spices harvested from the jungle and food brought along with us will be placed in bamboo tubes for cooking. Chicken is placed on bamboo sticks and cooked over the fire. While the guides are preparing your delicious dinner, you can freshen up at a nearby waterfall. Dinner is served by candle light.

COMMENT FROM THOSE WHO WENT ON THIS JUNGLE ADVENTURE.

We all had a GREAT time on our 3-day, 2-night trek!. The trek with All Thailand Experiences was our favorite part of our spring break trip. We had a BLAST All-Thai was very accommodating and helpful for our group of 13 American students (which we split into 2 groups for the trek).My group's guides were awesome. They could both communicate with us well and were a lot of fun. The younger local trail expert was a big goofball and we had a ton of fun with him. They taught us some Thai words and played little games with us at night and whatnot. Also, it was really cool making bamboo cups and that kind of stuff. I heard that the other group also really enjoyed their guides. The food was EXCELLENT and we had PLENTY of it. That was awesome, especially considering that my group had 7 guys in it. The caves and waterfalls were really cool. The waterfalls (our group saw 3, were a great way to cool off and have some fun. Hiking wise, the first and last days were exactly what I was expecting (through jungle on narrow little paths and such). The second day was great because we were able to get tons of spectacular views and pictures, but the hiking was less intense. I am not disappointed in the hiking aspect of it because we got a good mix of both intense and great views. The villages were a great experience, as well. We had a good time at both of them, especially the second one (2nd for my group--the one with all the little kids) because we played with the little kids a TON. It was interesting to see a little bit of how they live and the condition/style of their villages. It was also nice that we did not end up being harassed by villagers trying to sell us things or anything like that. Overall, we all thought the trip was WELL worth it. Also, the help of Nui, the manager, who got us our train tickets and booked our hostel for the last night was EXTREMELY appreciated. Thank you for giving us SUCH a great experience. You will definitely be recommended to the group coming to Australia (and hopefully visiting Thailand) next year. I will put a review on the site, as well.

Thanks again, Eric Herbert
