Story "Family stay, at the Grand Canyon"

It takes to our group a little more than one hour by vehicle to reach the Home Stay village where we are going to spend four days in total immersion in a family and far away from tourists. It is a Thai traditional northern village where the main activity is cotton weaving and clothes making. We are not the first foreigners to come given that the American students of the Chiang Mai University frequently have cultural and study stays there.
