  • Hey! 20USD is proper reasonable cheap price for the 1 day trekking. How did U go? booked by Chiangmai local travel agency? or go urself

  • @OneManTraveller Yeah. We went to one of the travel agencies. We found the cheapest trek, and my travel companion insisted on talking the price down a wee bit. They ended up upgrading us because they couldn't fill up the cheaper trek.

  • @mooney47 awesome. So did U hang around the streets for the chepest agency? Or Have U got any recommendation for tour agencys?

  • @OneManTraveller No recommendations. There was one street where lots of the travel agents were. I forgot the name, but I'm sure it's easy to find. We walked in a couple. They all offered the same or similar packages at similar prices. I would have liked to have done a longer trek, but the one we went on was fine. I'm glad we skipped the ones that included going to the "long neck" villages. I wouldn't mind going back someday.

  • @mooney47

    Good enough for me, actually I'm not even looking forward to seeing the long-neck village. Just wanna ride the elephant and hiking the Chiang Dao Mountain. And I could visit such villages on my way passing by Mae Salong. BTW, how's the situation of English in Thai? how do U buy bus ticket and order in restaurants?

  • @OneManTraveller If you stay on the beaten track (Chiang Mai, Bangkok, etc)...where the tourists are, language isn't a problem at all. Many people speak quite English quite well. Of all the non-English speaking countries I've been to, Thailand is the easiest to get around. At the bus station in Bangkok and Chiang Mai, purchasing in English should be no problem.

  • @OneManTraveller ...please don't ride the elephants. Find a reserve such as Elephant Nature Park. The abuse those elephants go through is incredible cruel to get an elephant obey. Don't support this. Wouldn't you equally enjoy feeding and bathing the elephants?

  • @mooney47 hi im going out to thailand, laos, vietnam and cambodia this july and was wondering how much money you needed rougly each day, my friend says around 25 pounds. is that enough?

  • @lukasWZ I think it was something like 20 USD a person. We found the absolute cheapest tour and then, since they couldn't fill it up, they upgraded us to a better tour with more people. Have fun.

  • how much did you pay for this tour? going to chiang mai next month and my budget is pretty tight
