We are in a hilltribe village and the living conditions in the village are basic . We provide drinking water, electricity and clean food, if you believe that you can not do without modern comforts, please consider whether a tribal village is the right place for you.

Please carefully consider that before finally signing up for the course. We can’t refund any course fees after you have finally signed up.

What to expect with your trip to Thailand:

Not all trips will be in an Akha village but, we will stay in a village at least one or two nights on a trip.

• Simple food (3 vegetarian rice based meals a day while taking the Thai massage course. While touring only breakfast is provided.)
• Bamboo or wooden hut style accommodation in the village. Simple guest house accommodations when not in a village.
• Course material
  Six hours massage practice for ten days.
  Filtered drinking water
  Electricity

We recommend a sleeping bag, a flashlight and some warm clothing for the evenings/nights.

We provide simple meals (three vegetarian rice based meals a day). If you do have any specific food requirements, you should bring those items with you. We do serve meals that contain egg, which you can easily avoid.

The Akha Women’s Foundation is a non-profit 501(c3) designated charitable organization founded to empower the Akha women of Thailand by providing them with vocational and primary health care programs. The Foundation provided funds to build a hostel where 25 Akha girls live while attending high school. We are now working to raise money to build a clinic where the Akha women can learn skills to support their families, and where the traditions of Thai/Akha massage and herbal medicine will be taught.

Dear Winnie
What I’m gonna talking about now on is a real story. You know where the Akha tribe come from?_they are migrated from Chana, Laos,Tibet and Burma , and today most of Akha that migrated from China and Tibet are struck in Burma, where most of Akha population are living in, also my wife forefather had been migrated from China over a hundred years ago.

I think you have heard from the news about Burma right now, lots of human right violation and atrocity are all over the country,the monk the commoner the old and the children are undergoing the suffering that done by a Burmese Junta. But , the worst is, the hilltribe girls that living in a the area between the Thai & Burma border they are raped by the Burmese army daily, these people they are brutal raping, killing and plunder are normal for them. Most of the hill tribe girls that under the suffering is AKHA lady, and they want to come into Thailand as to escape from the untolerate situation, but don’t know where to settle in – they are desperate.

So my initiation is to set up something like an hostel that you’ve talked about, some where in the suburb of Chiangrai as to be an asylum for these desperate Akha lady (And I think, this will less complicate and cost lesser than setting up a business for them which expect just for a long range out come) So what is your idea?
