Meet your host

Pop, Orn, Maprang, and James are a close-knit team brought together by their love for trekking and discovering hidden places. Pop, once an engineer in Bangkok, and his girlfriend, Orn, spent their free time exploring Thailand’s trails. Everything changed when they met James and Maprang, another adventurous couple, who introduced them to a remote village in Chiang Mai. The simplicity and warmth of the community had a lasting impact on them, leading them to leave city life behind. Now they not only share breathtaking trails but also help local hill tribes earn a sustainable income. By bringing people to these hidden trails, they hope to support the hill tribe community and share this incredible experience with others.
