THAILAND - Hill Tribes Trek
We spent 3 days in the hills north of Chiang Mai staying in the villages of the Lisu and Dala Ang people. Like most things in Thailand tours are very 'touristic'. There really is no such thing as a remote hike to authentic hilltribe villages. You could almost better describe this tour as a shopping tour. Every 'village' we passed through we were surrounded by opportunistic elderly women and children selling their handicrafts. Despite this we still had a great time riding the elephant and bamboo rafting down the river and met some fun people from Germany and Israel.
