Our trip to Thailand included a 3-day mountain trek in Chiang Dao and this was most definitely the highlight of our holiday.
The trek was certainly challenging, especially on day 2 with a steep climb down and then a steep climb up in the afternoon, but the experience and the views were well worth it.
Our guide, Sap, was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and a great cook! He showed us so much and was a fantastic guide. I think we were lucky in that it was just my partner and I on the trek, so it really was a personal guided tour.
The villages we visited and the homestay accommodation were in the most spectacular settings and we saw some great sunsets and sunrises.
The heat and humidity were tough, especially for us Brits and there were a few moments when I doubted I could do it but it soon passed and this trek is all we can talk about!
If you have any doubts, don't! Just do it, you won't regret it.
