Green Trails supports the samlors of Chiang Mai
We support the samlors of Chiang Mai. A samlor is the traditional bicycle taxi and is threatened with “extincion”. The samlor should not disappear from Chiang Mai streets. Please look at our website Chiang Mai a la Carte, on which we offer a variety of wonderful and interesting guided samlor rides. See Chiang Mai in an environmentally friendly way and support the drivers!

Thailand is a fantastic destination for your family. It is the child-friendliest and safest country in Southeast Asia. Hygienic standards are very high, and many hotels have family rooms. Besides that, Thailand is also still great value for money. During the European school holidays, families have traveled to Thailand for a holiday in increasing numbers. We have been organizing hundreds of family tours and treks over the past ten years. Our guides are used to work with kids, and they really love it.

EMBARK ON NEW ADVENTURES, DISCOVER CHIANG MAI WITH US
Adventures in Chiang Mai and Northern Thailand
We have been involved in organizing Chiang Mai Tours and North Thailand Tours for more than 25 years. In the early days, trekking was one of the most popular activities for tourists. It was also the only activity on offer for visitors. That has changed over the years. We still love trekking and offer tribal experiences, cycling, rafting, and other nature and culture-friendly activities. We are very much aware of our impact on the environment and communities. We monitor our activities as much as possible to make sure our footprint is as small as possible.
Chiang Mai National Parks Adventures
Northern Thailand is a stunningly beautiful area. There are many national parks with beautiful forests, sparkling rivers, and thundering waterfalls. We have developed several active tours in these national parks. We offer many different tours to Doi Inthanon National Park, but other, less-known parks are worth visiting. We will do everything possible to minimize our footprint in these lovely, protected areas.
Chiang Mai Tribal Experiences
A variety of ethnic minority groups inhabit the mountains of Northern Thailand. They are often called “hill tribes.” Each of these groups has its own interesting customs, traditions, and dress. Most groups have their own language. Although development has eroded this heritage, they still keep their own customs and traditions. We offer several tours that focus on these minority groups. We will show you this heritage. By doing this, we hope to contribute to the preservation of these invaluable cultures.
