Chiang Mai mini adventures	Description
Golden Triangle Trek	3 days fr £177 For an authentic Thai adventure, get off the beaten track on this three day tour of the picturesque Golden Triangle. Heading straight out of Chiang Mai you’ll pass great scenery before getting the chance to trek to a number of traditional villages (including Karon, Lahu and Akha) where you will stay in a different one each night. You’ll take a motorboat down the Kok River, cool down in a refreshing waterfall and visit an elephant camp.
Thai Elephant Conservation	7 days fr £389 The elephant conservation project aims to provide shelter and protection for elephants from all over Thailand. Set in a valley surrounded by forested mountains, an hour away from Chiang Mai by road, the park offers a peaceful home for its residents - over 30 neglected and abused elephants. Instead of working for humans, the elephants are cared for by a team of full-time staff and park volunteers. Beginning early in the morning, as a volunteer you will prepare food for the elephants and assist their keepers in bathing them. Volunteers are really appreciated as the park is big.
Thai Cooking Course	1-3 days fr £39 Hands up how many people know the difference between Thai Basil and the regular stuff? Or what you can do with coconut milk? Thai food is available almost the world over, but with its seeming complexity and unusual ingredients, many people are simply too scared to give it a go themselves. Now's your opportunity to impress your mates on your return home, by learning how to cook Thai food in style with a proper Thai chef at his home or restaurant. It's not all work and no play though - you get to eat the stuff too. Choose from a one, two or three day course for an ever increasing amount of expertise!
Chiang Mai & Hilltribe Experience	5 days fr £196 Get in touch with the local lives of unique and intriguing hilltribes in the ethnic north of tantilising Thailand. Spend your time walking from village to village through fresh forests and over rolling hills and see the eclectic local culture first-hand where tribes have their own language, clothing and belief system. Lay your head down for the night in traditional local huts as the jungle sounds soothe you to sleep. There’s also time to explore the city wonders of Chiang Mai with two nights accommodation staying in the capital of the north.
Hilltribe Hut Experience	3 days fr £166 Pull on those muddy walking boots, stretch the muscles out and take to the hills on this adventure packed trip taking in the unique sights of northern Thailand. You’ll hike through remote villages, learn the secrets to jungle survival from the locals and race down rivers in your own hand-constructed bamboo raft. You’ll even get the chance to experience an amazing once-in-a-lifetime elephant ride. You'll feast on delicious local food and spend two nights shacked up with the locals in traditional bamboo huts. If you're looking to escape the cities and get a taste of the real Thailand, then this whirlwind journey will take you into the heart of this fascinating country.
Chiang Mai & Golden Triangle	3 days fr £249 Experience the charm of Thailand's north on this journey to the intriguing Golden Triangle. Kiss the madness and mayhem of Chiang Mai goodbye as you head north to a land of myth and fable... Actually it's the area where Thailand, Burma and Laos meet, but it still conjures up images of poppy fields, Chinese Warlords and smugglers! Ride elephants in the jungle, meet friendly Akha people, visit an opium museum and perhaps step a sneaky foot into laid-back Laos. Absorb the rich history, scenic beauty and melting pot of cultures and cuisines on this short yet extremely sweet adventure.
