Chan's Nature walks are the key to open your eyes to the beauty of northwestern Thailand's
mountain nature and culture. A life-long resident of Mae Hong Son. Chan has an intimate
knowledge of Thailand-Myanmar's north hills. He is an experienced guide, a self-taught
naturalist and a talented cook. Chan also speaks fluent English.
Chan's Nature walks guide you through light green paddy-fields, rapid rivers and tumbling
waterfall, deep green forests and hidden villages. See the beauty of breathtaking vistas,
and experience the peace and silence of the remote northwestern hills of Thailand and Myanmar.
Chan's Nature Walks guide you through the complex pathway system used by local hill tribes.
Along those paths, Chan will open your eyes to the life lived by the people in the forest,
their herbs and hunting methods, the various fruits of the forest and how the locals
cultivate the land. Chan's vast knowledge of the region's flora and fauna allows you
to observe nature rarely seen by the untrained eye. Chan can answer your questions and
point out details of the environment while you breathe the fresh mountain air and stretch
your legs in one of the most unique and untouched regions of Thailand.
(Late afternoons will find you arriving at a hill tribe village or a forest campsite for your
overnight stay. Chan will personally prepare your delicious Thai meal comprising several dishes,
over an open fire. He will explain how the people, who have lived in the area for over 200 years,
make their tools, husband their animals and produce their food.
Chan's relationship with the hill tribe people is genuine and has been developed over his
lifetime of visiting them. That is obvious in the way he and his clients are welcomed in
each hill tribe village.)
