Private Tour: 2-tägige authentische Hill Tribe Villages und Karen Hill Tribe Homestay

We did 2 days, 1 night hill tribe tour out of Chiang Mai. This tour was a total rip off and scam for what it was. Our guide, Surachai, had absolutely no knowledge about the areas he was showing us. If I had a question, he would point out to the official short description of the place in English. When I asked him about the war between Thailand & Myanmar, he suggested to read it in a book. We would’ve been better off with just a car and a driver for the day. He was also pretty useless organizing our meals. Both, me & my partner were feeling uncomfortable in the first village we visited. The residents of that village would not respond to our hello and even turn away from us. We were clearly not welcomed. On the first day we also visited a cave & a sticky waterfall. All of it could’ve been done on our own, as no explanations or history of the places were given to us. At the waterfall the guide climbed it himself and was obstructing my photo shot! Very unprofessional. Our overnight guesthouse was clean, but had uncomfortable bed & unusable pillows. Never again I will agree to someone else booking a place to stay. Good lesson. The plan for the second day was to visit long neck tribe village & hmong people village. We were brought in the middle of nowhere and offered a walk in the forest and our guide’s village, instead of walking in a long neck village, as I expected from the tour description. When asked the guide, why it’s a different village, he said long neck tribe is actually just one family, and we will stop there later. At that point we were so dissatisfied with the trip, we just asked to take us back to the city. Then suddenly the guide remembered another, “touristy” long neck village we could visit… really? For some weird reason, they had to stop in 2 different places “to pick up their backpacks”. Why their backpacks were not with them in the morning, if they were leaving back to the city with us?! Suspicious. To be fair, the driver was nice and polite. His car, however was untidy and not cleaned, unlike any other drives we took while in Thailand for a month. Oh, and they made us to pay for the full tank of gas, when we know we only used half at most. Feel scammed and extremely disappointed. Don’t use this company. There are many other much better once.

Wir hatten eine wundervolle Zeit, einen Teil Nordthailands zu erkunden. Wir haben viele Bergvölker auf sehr respektvolle und authentische Weise besucht. Wir würden dieses Unternehmen auf jeden Fall für Ihre Reisen empfehlen. Danke nochmal!

Beste Erfahrung bisher! ! ! Anan und Loso haben es unglaublich gemacht. Sie machten jeden Stopp, jeden Besuch so besonders. Sie sind sehr gut informiert. Ich würde es auf jeden Fall empfehlen und insgesamt würde ich es sofort wieder tun, wenn ich könnte
