Canoeing In Northeast Thailand

[paddlesup]

I am planning on organising a long distance canoe trip down the Songkhram River in the upper Northeast of Thailand during the coming rainy season. It will be the first time that this trip has ever been attempted and so in some ways is a trip into the unknown.

The trip will consist of 12 people in 6 canoes, half locals and half outsiders, who would like to experience a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, physical challenge and opportunity to learn much about the local society, culture, environment and livelihoods. The going will be tough at times - 25-35 kms per day paddling in all weathers - and staying overnight in villages with local people. The journey will take about 12 days to complete, with various side trips arranged to places of interest. Money raised from the expedition will support a local schools environmental conservation group.

Interested in joining us on the River Songkhram in July? Then PM me and I will gladly send you more details.

Cheers,
