Very well organised hiking with excellent guider named Sap - funny, a lot of interesting details about nature, culture not only Thai people but something about northern neighbours. I didn’t read details and thought that is a at least 30% demanding hiking so for me enthusiasts this was easy walk. People in group were fully distanced, awkward feeling - in one moment I asked myself- why they go in group instead of individual guided trip - but that’s nothing with organisation.

Great tour with lots to see and learn. Our guide could show and explain much. Lunch was delicious. Wear long pants as the vegetation is pretty thick. Recommended!
