A Phu Phiang tour acts as bridge between the visitor and the local host. While walking across this bridge, lessons are learnt, experiences shared, local culture & traditions are more appreciated. You take back genuine, if invisible, souvenirs, such as a new understanding of other cultures, an otherwise unlikely new friendship and a new concern and even commitment for humanity in the world.

But beware! A high percentage of those who come on our tours experience a change in their outlook. They return home feeling a new bond for the Thai way of life and a craving to return!

Phu Phiang is about supporting village artisans and preserving their cultural heritage by sensitively exposing them to interested outsiders. From the respect and appreciation given by others, artisan communities discover the true value of their own skills and culture that should be preserved as strength for their future. These are values that are easily lost for ever in our modern, globalised world.
