I'd like to know what my options are for survival trekking in the short term. I'll be in Bangkok and would like to make arrangements now to stay in a place away from Bangkok and in the jungle from where survival and trekking expeditions are organised. What options do I have before the new year?

We don't offer survival trips in any of our destinations. We do offer a regular Trekking in Chiang Mai - 9 Day Tour but the first departure is in February.
