Luang Nam Tha - 3 days trek

Hey, we have been for 3 days in a great trek in the vilages near Luang Nam Tha - a reservation of tribes and a national park. We where in a group of 8 Israelians - 2 young married couples, us, and one more guy, we had really a great time.
The trek was organized by UNESCO reservation project "ecoTourism", so our money supossed to be going for a good cause of preserving and supporting the villages.
Our guide took us from village to village (aprox 6 hours of walking each day). we had a staff actually : the guide named Keo, a cook - "Miss sticky rice" and a local boy to show the way.
We where staying for the night in the villages. Each day the cook made us three meals : sticky rice (as you may understand, it is just a badly maden rice which is extra sticky) with some two non spicy salads.
