Deaw testing the river before driving through in our trusty Land Rover. We drive through this jungle before getting to a spot where we begin our hike for the overnight jungle tour.
After Olympian dithering (oh that it were a sport) we are finally ready to launch our website. The last six months have been spent setting up Khao Yai and Beyond so that we are able to deliver our vision without compromise. It's not always been easy, but we now feel that we are ready to give our customers the real experience of the jungle that we had dreamed.
We have surveyed and tested some great routes which give a variety of levels of trekking. What they have in common is that they are remote and unique and will give you experience of the real jungle. Not the one seen from the back of a pick up. We have also focussed on recruiting local people, who know the jungle intimately, to help us guide our tours or be our trackers. It is our intention that by investing in local people that they will be able to make their living by protecting the jungle rather than taking from it.
We live about 15km from the main drag of guesthouses, and would more accurately describe our accommodation as homestay rather than guest house...or guest hut! If you choose to join us on one of our tours, your accommodation will not only be free, but will give you a unique insight to how many rural Thais live...but more about that in later posts.
For now, I am being called to go and lug some bamboo. I hope that you find us here in cyberspace and having seen what we are about- come and visit us in person :)
