Highlights

Our journeys take you out of Bangkok up the Chao Phraya River into the rich agricultural Central Plains to see firsthand the traditional way of life of Thailand’s rural communities and meet the local people.
The unique cultural experience allows participants to have an opportunity to learn about the day-to-day life of the farming and handicraft communities; meeting the local people, the farmers, the artisans and school children and enjoying rewarding social interaction and cultural exchange.
We make sure it is a rewarding and enriching experience for all with none of the negative effects that tourism can sometimes have on small communities.
