We stay in the tropical highlands, where we can hike into the mountains or relax in the nearby fruit orchards. There is also the option of a sea canoe trip through the lagoons on the coast.

What our previous participants say
"It was excellent, due in no small measure to the expertise and experience of our tour guides."
Meet the producers
One of the groups you will be visiting is ThaiCraft, a fair trade marketing organisation which was established in 1992 to work with artisan groups to help them gain self-reliance and to preserve Thailand's indigenous crafts.
Traidcraft has been an important trading partner providing them with their first export orders and helping them in design development.
