Alternating vehicle trips and two small treks, this trip is for anyone in good health who wants to make a small physical effort to discover magnificent landscapes and traditional civilization.
2 treks of 3 days: no technical difficulties, you just need to feel able to walk 4 to 5 hours a day in hilly terrain with a backpack containing your personal belongings for 3 and 4 days of trekking. Carriers take care of the water and the food.
NB: during the wet season, the terrain can become slippery and make the program more difficult. In addition, the heat of the forest may seem challenging to some.
Apart from these trekking days, you only carry your things for the day.
Raft
Rafting on the Fonce River is accessible to all, and offers class 1 to 3 rapids, which you will pass safely, with competent supervision and adapted equipment.
The program may be modified according to the volume of the rivers, which is greater during the “humid” period than during the “dry” period.
You need to know how to swim 25 m (at least) and be able to put your head under water. You can attest to this ability yourself, or provide a certificate from a qualified authority (French Swimming Federation, lifeguard). (Article 3 of the decree of the Minister of Sport of 4 May 1995).
Biking to Kampaeng Phet and Ayutthaya: no technical difficulties.
Electricity
220 volt. Various socket systems (European, US). Provide a specific adapter.
NB: you are going to participate in an “adventure” program, a travel formula that is totally different from conventional tourist circuits: the discomfort, the unexpected, the health conditions, which we may encounter, suppose everyone has a good spirit of tolerance and a taste for adventure.
Through your active and positive participation, you will contribute to the cohesion and good understanding of the group, which is a guarantee of the success of the trip.

THAILAND HEALTH FORMALITIES:
Indicative data for French nationals, valid on 01/05/24 (check their news about one month before your departure).
Indicative data for French nationals, valid on 01/05/24 (check their news about one month before your departure).
COVID-19:
All Covid-19 measures have been lifted in Thailand.
VACCINATIONS: no vaccination is mandatory in Thailand. However, we recommend that you be up to date with standard vaccinations: diphtheria, tetanus, poliomyelitis, typhoid fever, hepatitis A and B, as well as the rubella, mumps-measles (MMR) vaccination for children.
JAPANESE ENCEPHALITIS: this disease, which only exists in Asia, is transmitted by mosquitoes, against which it is essential to protect yourself. As part of a tourist trip, vaccination against Japanese encephalitis is not routinely recommended. Consult your doctor or an international vaccination center.
MALARIA (Consult your doctor or the Institut Pasteur one month before your departure)
It is essential to take anti-malarial treatment for a trip to rural areas of Thailand, and especially in the mountains covered by forests in the northern half of the country (recommendation concerning all programs passing through Bangkok).
On the other hand, malaria is practically absent in the Phuket region.
PROVIDE PERSONAL PROTECTION AGAINST MOSQUITO BITES (which will prevent you from other viral diseases transmitted by mosquitoes such as dengue, chikungunya, and zika).
WATER: only use bottled water (available everywhere) even to brush your teeth. Avoid vegetable salads, ice cubes and ice cream, so you will avoid any risk of “tourists”.
SWIMMING: no danger on the beaches, but avoid corals that can be sharp and shelter large black urchins (always look underwater before setting foot if you swim around the coral reef), finally, never attempt to swim near the isolated pebbles that often harbor, below the surface of the water, oysters with sharp edges.
Watch out for coral cuts that get infected very quickly. As a general rule, in a tropical environment, any cut should be treated as follows (three times per day):
1/ Wash with soap and mineral water.
2/ Disinfection.
3/ Apply a small band-aid, especially at night.
SUN: you are in the tropics. Do not forget to protect your skin from the sun's rays.
