Day 1

After lunch, we trek to a scenic waterfall and a traditional Karen village through the Thai jungle. Don’t forget to bring swimming gear! In the Karen village we show you how to prepare traditional Thai food. We use fresh ingredients and cook on an open fire – just like hill tribe communities. You learn to cook two or three traditional northern Thai dishes each evening.

After dinner we spend the night as guests of the local villagers.

Day 2

From the village we set off on a trek in the jungle towards a local waterfall near Spicy Villa Eco-Lodges. We have a jungle style lunch on the way and learn how local hill tribe people use bamboo instead of pots and pans.

In the afternoon, after you get settled in your bamboo bungalow at Spicy Villa, you have a second Thai cooking class.

Day 3

After lunch we enjoy a drift down the river on a handmade bamboo raft before heading back to the city.

At the end of your three days you have experienced the most important parts of Northern Thai culture – traditional cooking and farming and the hill tribe lifestyle. It will make your visit to Thailand an unforgettable one.

Optional activity on the second day is a visit to elephant camp where you can feed and bathe the elephants. Please let us know if you would like to have this activity in your itinerary.
