We like to get off the beaten tourist track and our 3 day hill tribe tour was great. Our guide Pat was kind and knowledgable and our driver Winai was very conscientious. The tour was authentic and visited around 6 tribes, and we did other interesting things en route such as sampling local fruits. The tribes were welcoming or simply... More

In March my wife and I went on a wonderful tour of northern Thailand with Pat as our guide and Winai our driver. Melissa tailored a special tour for us extending the normal 3 day tour of this area. We really enjoyed many of the impromptu activites Pat organised, meeting local people and learning about their life and culture. We... More

Beyond the temples, the dive spots, the elephant rides and the photo ops are the Thai people. The Hilltribe Holidays Tour provides opportunities to meet and interact with local families, to watch crafts people at work, to visit homes and to experience real life in the villages of northern Thailand. Four of us did a five day tour that included... More

We did a two day, one night tour of Mae Sariang and surrounding area in February with our guide "A". Of our 18 days spent in Thailand and Cambodia, these two days were definitely favourites. Planning our excursion with Melissa was a breeze. She was extremely helpful and professional over email and answered our many questions. "A" was knowledgeable and... More

I highly recommend Thailand Hilltribe Holidays. Having been in Thailand many years ago, when I had an amazing Hilltribe visit which I wanted to share with my kids (13 and 7), and because we were traveling on a somewhat careful budget for 5 people I was not an easy customer. Melissa was very good about multiple email exchanges with me... More

We visited Thailand in December of 2011. After much research we decided we were keen to participate in a tour with Thailand Hilltribe Holidays. December is a busy time of year so if you’re wanting to book with Thailand Hilltribe Holidays over the busy period we would advise booking well in advance if you can. Arranging our tour with Melissa... More

We had a very nice time. Our driver Bom was very careful and our guide Dang was very friendly, informative and was very accommodating. The roads are quite windy and so it is important to have a good driver. The itinary was very good. We liked the choice of accommodation and food places. I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy good...
