Chiang Mai Trekking by Piroon & Baan Nantaya Guesthouse

An unforgettable authentic experience trekking in the mountains north of Chang Mai and staying 2 nights in the villages of the Karen and Lahu hill tribes. Our guide, Boca, was simply outstanding and looked after us so well, way beyond just doing his job. Humorous, knowledgeable, supportive, anttentive and so much more. Would highly recommend. My wife and I took a 3 day 2 night private tour with Boca as our guide. While we are a relatively fit early retired couple and do regular multi day solo walking tours in Spain and The Canary Islands we went private because my wife severely sprained her ankle 4 days beforehand. Therefore Boca and the company had to provide options just in case the heavily strapped ankle couldn’t cope. With Boca’s care and attention and flexibility we managed everything including slightly shortening the first day hike to 4km down from 6km and arranging for one back pack to be transported via motorbike. Second morning we managed 8km through some challenging jungle and jumped on a raft after lunch instead of hiking the final 3km. Third day was rafting and elephant visits. The overnights were unreal in the houses of the villagers with huge amounts of tasty Thai food. Enough for twice as many people. Altogether a surreal experience in the jungle enhanced immeasurably by the services of our wonderful guide Boca. THANK YOU Boca.

We did the 3 day hiking tour with Si, which was an amazing experience all round. We did 4 hours of hiking on the first day, 6 hours on the second day and on the last day we floated down the river on a bamboo raft and then got to meet the elephants, it’s so lovely! The hiking was downhill/uphill most of the time with smaller flat bits in between and stunning views of the forest and mountain ranges in the distance. Food was delicious and always freshly cooked with lots of fruit. The villages we’re staying in were small communities of friendly people and the beds were comfortable. It does get cold overnight but we’re always warm under multiple layers of blankets that were provided. Si was an amazing guide who told us lots of things about the animals and plants on hikes, let us try different forest fruit and answered all our questions along the way. It kept the hikes very entertaining and fun. Thank you so much for everything Si, we had the best time! If you’re looking for the perfect hiking tour in chiang mai to learn more about the local culture and spend time hiking through completely untouched forests, this is it! ✨10/10 would recommend! ❤️ lots of love, Lea & Tom

We had the most amazing 3 day, 2 night trek with our guide Loki who was great fun and super knowledgeable. We booked a private tour which we would 100% recommend if you’re keen to experience the trek, and meet and stay with families in villages, but would like some privacy (eg enclosed 4x4 with driver and our own private room in home stays). We were fed so much delicious Thai food over the 3 days and both home stays were so welcoming. The rafting was exhilarating and elephants treated well. We learnt lots and created many memories! Thank you.
