On this week's Just the Tip, we're taking you along a 2-day, overnight jungle trek through Chang Mai, Thailand.

We did the 2 day, 1 night overnight jungle trek with Chiang Mai Trekking with Piroon in northern Thailand and are sharing all the details on how to prepare, what to expect and what you'll see along the way.

They offer: 3 day/2 night, 2 day/1 night, & daytrips. We decided to do the 2 day/1 night option because we didn’t want to have a large backpacking backpack and wanted to be able to fit everything in a normal size backpack. We picked our dates and placed a deposit of 1000 baht, the rest is paid in cash the day before in person.

Supplies you'll need:

• Backpack - this is a collapsible, lightweight backpack that was perfect for the trek, just make sure to do a mock pack before you leave for your trip and make sure it all fits 
• Sleeping bag (we did not bring due to space but would have been warmer) 
• Hiking shoes 
• Jacket/sweater (fleece)
• Sandals- these are perfect while you are in the village and also great for the rafting adventure
• Hat 
• Toiletries- pack baby wipes, toilet paper, & she wee
• Towel - quick dry towel 
• Bathing suit 
• Flashlight 
• Insect repellent - our go to insect repellent that never lets us down

We stayed at Away Chiang Mai Resort before and after the trek and we were able to leave our luggage at the hotel while we were away.
