A trip to Thailand allows teams to discover remote villages and a fascinating mosaic of minority tribes wearing traditional dress. Students experience cultural interaction on community projects that are sustainable, on-going and make a difference.
Expeditions ignore the tourist areas of the southern beaches and instead venture into the northern hill tribe regions. The local people are friendly, tourism is low key and responsible travel is practised.
