Chiang Dao Trekking, Northern Thailand

When to Trek

Our Trekking adventures are operated all year long. However, note there are basically three season, and they require some difference in packing:

December to February is the cold season. We recommend long sleeves sweater or jogging suits as nights can be chilly.

June to September is the rainy season. Bring a light rain-jacket and good walking shoes, preferably waterproof.

April and May is the warm season. Bring along a minimum of effects and travel as light as you can.

What to Bring?

When packing for a trek, keep it simple. The less luggage you have to carry around, the more you will enjoy yourself.

This is what we can recommend to pack in your rucksack, for a basic 3 days trek:

  • Shoes; a good pair of running shoes are perfect, or even better are the lightweight trekking boots.
  • 2 T-shirts (cotton), one pair of short or long pants.
  • 2 pairs of socks.
  • Towel (or sarong), swimming suit, toiletries and personal effects.
  • Mosquito repellent (can be purchased in Chiang Mai).
  • Personal prescription drugs, contact lenses, glasses.
  • Sun-cream (waterproof), hat, sunglasses.
  • 1 long sleeved sweater and pants, or jogging suits (as night can be chilly, especially during winter season).
  • Small flash-light.
  • Camera and films.

This list is not exhaustive, and depending the season additional equipment can be added.
