Experience the gentle suspension of this 4 x 4- Jumbo walk from the camp to the border village of the amazing Pa Dawng People, better known as the “Long Neck Karen”. Pay a visit, while discreetly witnessing their lifestyle and customs. Lunch will be served in a local restaurant, before we reach our final overnight address, we embark for an 1-hour boat trip to be impressed by the lush green riverbanks and surroundings while going downstream of the Pai River.
