North Thailand Tours - Responsible Travel around Northern Thailand

Thailand Hilltribe Holidays offers cultural and authentic tours in the North of Thailand to - Mae Hong Son, Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai and authentic hill tribe villages. Our style of tours aims to show you the local way of life by observing and participating with locals. We prefer to get off the beaten path to explore remote villages and more authentic areas to delve deeper into the culture.
We specialise in small group travel and tailored private tours, just tell us what you want to see and what your interests are. Our English speaking guide Pat will be your accomplice and friend, showing you around and facilitating all aspects of your travel. Having your own guide, driver and car to explore Northern Thailand allows you to have a more intimate travel experience where you can up close and personal to local life.
Please see our North Thailand Tours, Homestays with Hilltribes and Authentic Hilltribe Village Tours pages for more information. Some of the activities your trip can include are; visits to local markets, cooking, sampling local cuisine, silver smithing, nature walks, visits to hilltribe villages and waterfalls.

A Different Kind of Tour in the North......

How our tours are different

Our private tours mean you receive the dedicated and sole attention of our guide and driver
Our tours are flexible. The plan of the day can change to accommodate your interests, needs and current local events
Your guide will take you on a journey that helps you to see northern Thailand through the eyes of a local, for example through activities such as giving alms to monks
Rest assured your visit will benefit the local communities and not harm them, as we believe in fair tourism and ensuring locals benefit directly from your visit

Family Friendly

Experienced in taking the whole family from young children to grandparents around Northern Thailand, our family friendly tours offer something special for all ages. It’s a great cultural experience for all the family, for example at the hilltribe homestay there are always lots of children in the village to bond and play with, opening your children's eyes to how other people in this part of the world live.

Responsible Tourism

Our tours are based on sustainable and responsible travel principles. With many local communities negatively affected by commercialised tourism we aim to counter this. We also aim to contribute to the sustainable development of the area by ensuring that locals benefit directly from tourism. For more information on this please see How your visit makes a difference

For the discerned traveller it can be difficult to visit genuine hilltribe villages in a non-intrusive way, as there are many manufactured hilltribe villages in Northern Thailand. Our project works alongside hill tribe communities in Mae Hong Son province on various development programs and runs small scale tours which supplements locals existing livelihoods as farmers. These tours allow you to gain an authentic insight into hilltribe culture and way of life but in a very natural way whilst giving back to local people too.
