Guided 3-day Chiang Dao trek from Chiang Mai with small-group hiking, homestays, home-cooked Thai meals, and jungle ridges.
“We had a very nice hike. The trek was challenging and physically demanding, especially on day 2 with climbing up and down, but was worth it for the spectacular views along the trek. Our guide Tan is knowledgeable of the area. He is a good cook, he cooked us Thai meals that we enjoyed very much.”
3-day Chiang Mai yoga and meditation retreat for up to six people with meals, pickup, and optional sightseeing around Doi Saket and Wat Phra That.
“We had such a wonderful with Amori and her family. The food was excellent, especially made by her Mom . They were so generous with a huge fruit platter and water. Will definitely recommend this to any one who wants to experience a hustle free 3 days and learn yoga and meditation too.”
Slow boat from Huay Xai to Luang Prabang over 3 days with Mekong villages, border guidance, and two overnight stops for a smoother Laos start.
“The organizer is so so rude and unhelpful some of his messages were incredibly blunt and arrogant. My suggestion: Do it yourself. The border crossing is easy if you don’t have to wait around!! It’s a fraction of the price and you don’t have to hang around repeatedly with horrendous lack of communication. Firstly I was contacted late the night before to say the bus to boarder was full?I booked 8 days in advance. I was sent different cars registration and colors and just lucky I have a simm for Thailand and Laos. To top it off I was dropped at the wrong hotel … despite showing my booking.com hotel…”

3-day Karen hill tribe trek from Chiang Mai to Doi Inthanon, with village homestays, waterfall swims, and forest cooking.
“I loved it. However, the 3 day 2 nights was a lot more strenuous than advertised. We averaged 11 km per day, Day 1 was mostly climbing up a very steep mountain, Day 2 half up and half down, Day 3 mostly down hill. Some level of fitness is required. Cash is a must, as the villagers only accept cash for water etc. Use a proper backpack because you have to carry all your stuff. Remember to pack toilet paper and a towel. The home stay was awesome and the people very friendly. Be warned the showers are cold! BUT there was electricity at both places :) The food was…”
3-day Chiang Mai meditation and yoga retreat with Buddhist culture, temple visits, rice-field walks, and home-style vegetarian Thai meals.
“Amori gives everything she can to her students. the food that her cousin prepare is amazing and always very beautifully presented. the place is not a luxury resort but is a family place. very quiet and 40 minutes away from the city so I stayed there without moving all the period because you it feels to be in another world. everyone takes care of your needs and I appreciate a lot all the love that they put in what they do I was basically alone so I had a lot of private classes which for me was a luxury and after the program I chose to stay one more day.…”
Ride big bikes through Northern Thailand, from Tha Ton to the Golden Triangle, Laos river views, and the White Temple.
“The bikes are excellent, and the tour is well organised, from the airport pick-up to the return to your hotel. Great roads and magnificent countryside. Some stop activities could be replaced or changed i.e. Elephant feeding, Hill Tribe village, Lao village, but the roads are calling, the focus is on riding, that's what we are there for.”
