About this trip
Eleven days touring Northern Thailand from the back seat of a converted tuk tuk, driven by someone who knows these mountain roads well. It's a different way into the region than the usual bus-and-guide setup — slower to arrive, but far closer to what's actually there.
The route stays off the main tourist track, taking in hill tribe communities, remote temples and mountain scenery you don't get from a coach window. Days mix riding with trekking, rafting and time with elephants, plus overnight stops in places most tours skip.
This suits people who want Northern Thailand's landscape and culture up close, and don't mind the tuk tuk itself being part of the adventure — rougher roads, open air, and a bit of adrenaline along the way.
