Getaway Trekking offers the complete Thailand package. From the  magnificent islands and pristine beaches in the south, the bustling vibrant Bangkok, to the only 5 day hill tribe trek in the remote northern part of Thailand, this tour has everything. This is an exotic land and we have chosen to trek in the misty mountains near Changmai, the bohemian center of Thailand. Getaway Trekking has exclusive access to some hill tribes in Northern Thailand due to our reputation as a culturally and eco sensitive company.

We visit Hell fire pass and the infamous Thai Burma railway in Kanchanaburi, the site of WW2 atrocities towards Australian and allied POWs.

Our tour starts in Bangkok where we have a mix of free time and organised activities. We visit the infamous Hell Fire Pass and bridge over the river Kwai, the scene of thousands of POW deaths during the second world war. Enroute we visit the famous floating markets, colourful and chaotic, a great experience that encapsulates the Thailand culture.

A short flight to Chang Mai with its fascinating indigenous cultural identity, diverse dialects, cuisine, architecture, traditional values, festivals, handicrafts and classical dances makes this a prime location in its own right. A steady climb to the third highest mountain in Thailand offers spectacular views . We trek through the various hill tribes, stay in bamboo huts and experience the wealth of unique cultures that has made this area famous. We become part of the  local culture and assist in the building of our own Bamboo rafts, which are used to complete the trek on the last day.

The relaxation phase begins when we travel by plane to Phuket; the Southern playground of Thailand. Renowned for its beautiful white sandy beaches, turquoise water and stunning islands, we have a mixture of organised activities and free time. You can wander the street markets, hire a motorbike or lay on the beach; its up to you. We overnight on the famous Phi Phi island where you can snorkel or just relax amidst the spectacular scenery. A haven for colourful fish and warm clear water makes this a great finale to our tour.
