Founder
James
James was born Mae Mut village in the valleys of Northern Thailand. This was a time of traditional herbal medicine doctors and seasonal cycles by starlight: less tech, more jungle.
After living in Chiang Mai city, he realised just how much this connection is missing in our modern lives.
So two decades ago, in 2005, he started leading tours to share his deeply intimate connection to the local land and all it's secrets...
