    Jungle Trekking & Hill Tribe Homestay

    Ready for a super special day? Today, we are trekking into the jungle and spending the night with a Hill Tribe! Get ready to see some of the best views of the trip!

    Note: This trek does not require a high level of fitness but is a bit of a challenge.

  • Day 7

    Wake up and take in the views before travelling back to Chiang Mai via bamboo raft! Today we will be visiting a local elephant sanctuary and educate ourselves on the amazing work that is done to keep these gentle giants out of harms way!

  • Day 8

    Ziplining is calling us today! Spend the day jumping around the jungle and seeing nature from up high - it's going to be epic!

  • Day 9

    Chill day lets goooo! After a bit of a lie-in, spend your day lounging, swimming, playing a few games, reading a good book or having a snooze in the sun. The choice is yours (don’t forget to sun cream up though). Once we’ve had our relaxation fill, we'll head for dinner and drinks and see where the night takes us.

  • Day 12

    Pai/Chiang Mai

    This morning it’s time to head back to Chiang Mai! We hope you’re ready to become the new Thai Masterchef as we are off to a cooking school to learn about some of Thailand's traditional dishes and then have a go at making them ourselves! Most of Thailand's delicious food comes from the North, so there’s no better way than to learn from the masters themselves, right? First, we’ll head to the market where our guides and teachers will show us how to select the freshest & tastiest ingredients, they have that insider knowledge ya feel? Now it’s time for us to turn those ingredients we picked into some mouthwatering meals! Don’t fret, you’ll be shown how to cook the recipes step by step! Now for the best bit, tasting what you’ve cooked, so make sure you’re paying attention when cooking! A fantastic experience, and you’ll get to go home with new recipes and new skills, so tell all your friends and fam to get ready! Winner winner chicken dinner (Quorn if your veggie)!

  • I had the best time ever on my tour. Our guide (Scotty) was amazing and went out of his way to help out no matter how small or large the issue. The group became a family and even managed to learn a few words of German from them! I am so sad that it has ended and I would suggest this trip to everyone and anyone who wants to see Thailand. Really felt like we had enough time to see everything wherever we were which was so good and I never felt rushed. Best time ever!

  • Me and my boyfriend Sam had an amazing time on the Trutravels northern adventure tour. We have experiences we will remember forever and we learnt so much about Thailand along the way. Our tour guide Oneway was positive, endearing and had a vast knowledge of Buddhism and Thai traditions. He would always try his best to answer our sometimes strange questions and would always boost the mood with his sense of humour and singing. My highlights of the trip were the elephant sanctuary ,the trip to Pai & the Erawan waterfalls. I met some great people on my tour and I would say Oneway went above and beyond his tour guide duties, I would consider him a friend too. Thank you so much for the great experience and brilliant memories.
