Read about a wonderfully adventurous couple who traveled to Thailand during the political unrest in Sept 2008. Our ground operators took great care of Scott and Jennie --they had an incredible time. One of the highlights of the trip was the visit to the Elephant Nature Park that also houses orphaned dogs...they have adopted one and are making plans to bring him back to the US. For those of you interested in an overnight trek to the Northern Hilltribes, Scott and Jennie felt it was truly authentic as well as exciting.
