Acclimatisation
From Bangkok, teams can head to the Kaeng Krachan or Khao Yai National Parks, where huge waterfalls part the dense jungle (Hollywood film ‘The Beach’ was filmed at Khao Yai). These parks are home to a huge variety of wildlife including monkeys, wild elephants and even big cats. Alternatively teams might base themselves in Kanchanaburi, and head out to explore the spectacular Erawan Falls and the dark past of the Hellfire Pass.
Main trekking phase
The team will head for the lush jungle in the northern highlands for their main trekking phase. Possible trekking areas include the Um Phang region near Mae Sot, and the lush hills to the north-west of Chiang Rai. Most of the trekking itineraries could include an elephant ride and spending nights in remote hill-tribe villages. There are also treks through the jungle surrounding Chiang Dao, to the north of Chiang Mai. Teams will explore the country on foot, by waterway and sometimes even by elephant! In some itineraries it may be possible to do some white-water rafting, although such options would incur an additional cost.
Project
Being one of the poorest and neediest countries in the world, the project possibilities in Cambodia are fantastic, providing a wonderful opportunity for teams to get off the tourist trail and experience Cambodia’s rich culture. There are some excellent community development projects to choose from in Cambodia, from assisting in orphanages to helping to build houses or even digging wells in local Khmer villages.
Rest and relaxation
With Thailand’s extensive, beautiful coastline there is no lack of stunning beaches and islands. Basic beach huts are available or the team may wish to simply sling their hammocks from the trees along the beach. In Thailand teams could visit one of the islands close to Bangkok such as Ko Samet or Ko Chang close to the Cambodian border. A visit to Angkor Wat will be included in all itineraries.
