Trekking in Thailand?
I'm going with my boyfriend next winter break, and we're hoping to do an eco-trek out of Chiang Mai. I've read that some of these completely trash the local environment, treat the local tribes like human zoo exhibits, and are involved in the opium...

Francesca, this was a great idea!

If anyone has any ideas for either desti… Continue
