Hills around Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai host seven itinerant hill-tribal people like the Mao, Lahu, Yao, Akha Lawa and Karen, each distinct in their costumes dialect and customs. A typical trekking tour engages a group of six to ten trekkers, a guide and a cook. There are more than 100 registered agencies as members of the Professional Guide Association of Chiang Mai and the Jungle Tour Club of northern Thailand who relentlessly organize these tours.
