Introduction

the Guides Association of Mae Yao district, a non-government organization (is a not-for-profit) gathers a wealth of information about the trekking tours, volunteer programs, Community service attractions and hilltribe life of the Mae Yao Sub-District. It provides a link between the Mae-Yao community based tourism and potential tourists interested in trekking and experiencing the culture of the hilltribes in the beautiful mountains of Chiang Rai.

The Mae-Yao Hilltribe Guide Group is the link to bridge the gap between tourist and villager. All tours are led by experienced local guides who not only have intimate knowledge of the trails that you will walk on but are treasure troves of information about the history and culture of the people and places in the are. One of the important things we will discuss is the fragile eco-system and the need to preserve it in the jungles we will pass through and the area surrounding the tribe villages.

The Mae-Yao Hilltribe Guide Group in the Mae Yao Sub-District will provide the hilltribes with much needed income and community service to aid in the preservation of their culture that might otherwise be diluted by modern influences.
