A great day
I booked this trek for a group of young people I’m accompanying in Thailand. The guides were lovely, they spoke very good English and even a little French. They explained lots of things to us about the plants. The meal was very good. We had lots of delicious fresh fruit. I recommend !
Périple dans les rizières
Ce séjour dans les rizières était magique ! Nous avons été époustouflés par la beauté du panorama. Tee est une personne très gentille, qui nous met à l’aise et qui nous faire rire ! C’était une expérience fantastique que de partager ce moment avec lui. Nous le remercions chaleureusement ! Nous ne sommes pas prêts d’oublier ce magnifique petit voyage hors du temps. Encore un grand merci !
Amazing 2 days
I highly recommend the TWO DAYS PA PONG PUANG tour. We did it with our 3 young adults and it was famous ! We had a lot of fun and the views were amazing. Tee is a great guide ! Next time we will do another tour with him.
1 nuit dans les rizières
nous avons pu profiter de ces 2 jours au cœur du doi inthanon grâce à Tee. Le panorama sur les rizières fut juste incroyable. Tee a pu adapter le programme en fonction de nos souhaits et nous l ‘en remercions.
nous étions les seuls touristes étrangers aux rizières. à refaire!
La meilleure façon de découvrir la région de Chiang Mai !
Superbe trek de 3 jours en totale immersion, guidé par Tee, un guide exceptionnel, extrêmement accueillant qui nous a fait découvrir sa région natale. Nous avons vraiment côtoyé la vie locale, loin des touristes pour une expérience véritable et inoubliable. Merci beaucoup !
Superb 3-day trek in total immersion, guided by Tee, an exceptional, extremely welcoming guide who introduced us to his native region. We really got to know local life, far from the tourists for a real and unforgettable experience. Thank you so much !
