Hear stories of their escape from Myanmar’s civil war, learn about the skills they’ve mastered, and the evolution of their resilient community. Huay Pu Keng is located in the Mae Hong So province where you will meet the villagers on a river, climb aboard their boats, and set off for the village for a special Thailand experience. Huay Pu Keng is the first and only Kayan village in Thailand that made the transition from a show village towards community-based tourism (CBT) so that tourism can empower them. Few travelers get the chance to connect with these women and immerse themselves in their culture in such a profound way. 

Rafting the Sok

Lush green jungle fills both banks, occasionally revealing a snake resting among overhanging branches. Watch out for lively monkey families swinging through the trees or playing along the shore.

This Thailand tour is a rare glimpse of the country’s untouched wilderness, offering a tranquil and luxurious journey into its timeless heart.
