Old Trade Route Soft Adventure Tour (SA 302)
Tour ref. SA302B
3 Days & 2 Nights – LA NA THAI CULINARY ADVENTURE
Degree of difficulty: Easy
Departures: On request
Day One
Meal Code: (L, D)
Leaving your hotel at 06:00hrs enjoy an early morning stroll around the main local fresh food market during which your guide will provide information and answer questions on Thai food ingredients and their preparation. You then return to the hotel for breakfast. Depart the hotel again at 09:00hrs by vehicle and travel north along highway 107. Stop to visit Chiang Dao caves before taking lunch in a local restaurant. After lunch continue north and visit a forest temple at Wat Tum Tubtao. Then drive along rural back roads to visit a rare Paulong hill tribe village. Next head north again to the Thai-Burma border village of Ban Thaton where you check into the Maekok River Village Resort. Take dinner and then relax around the campfire (lit nightly if the weather is cool enough).
Day Two
Meal Code: (B, L, D)
After breakfast, join a cooking module (as an optional extra at a cost of Baht 1,100.- per person) on one of our KRUA MAEKOK cooking courses. Modules consist of a tutorial (practical demonstration) followed by a “hands on” period where you prepare the three Thai food dishes created earlier by our outstanding Chef. Enjoy a buffet lunch (and delight in the gastronomic masterpiece you had earlier prepared). Depart for a visit to the high altitude Royal Agriculture Project on Doi Angkang where you spend time exploring the extensive grounds and visiting a Lahu Shaleh village with its own ‘museum’. Return to Maekok River Village Resort in the early evening. Thai style dinner is served for you in our restaurant before you retire for the night.
Day Three
Meal Code: (B, L, D)
After breakfast, join another (optional) module of our KRUA MAEKOK cooking course. Again, modules consist of a tutorial (practical demonstration) followed by a “hands on” period where you prepare the three Thai food dishes earlier demonstrated to you. Take a buffet lunch (that includes the dishes you just cooked). Board a chartered long tail boat that takes you on a 3 hour journey down river to Chiang Rai. Stop at the Shan village of Ban Mae Mokcham before continuing down to the Karen village of Ban Ruam Mit for a 1 hour Elephant Safari through surrounding jungle and farmland. Reboard the long tail boat for the last hour down river arriving at the Dusit Island Resort boat jetty before dusk.
Check into the Dusit Island Resort for an overnight stop that includes dinner and a transfer out to the airport on the following day.
