How To Get There

The homestay village is very remote and does not have any public transport - the only way you can get there is off-road so we suggest you take advantage of the transfer service provided by Thailand Hilltribe Holidays.  A guide will collect you from Chang Mai City or Airport areas where you will start your journey to the village - the journey will take between 1-2 hours
