About Us – GibbonSong

Who’s Who:

Australian registered company. GibbonSong is now registered and has a group of like-minded directors and associate sponsors. GibbonSong can now take people in complete safety into the “Lanna Kingdom. What and where is the Lanna Kingdom? – Google it 😊 The Enter The Lanna Kingdom Tours will provide support and funding for the GibbonSong company to acquire the materials needed to assist the remotely located gentle, Karen people that ask for nothing but could use our small assistance with the things in life that matter.

Charitable Activities:

Education endeavors for the Karen children in Baan Khuntae. With the approval of local teachers, we attend the school and encourage the kids to love and protect “their” fauna and flora. We continue to assist selected bright students from the Khuntae Primary School with funding that allows them to gain a good secondary education at a Secondary school in a town in their province with boarding and food costs while they are away from home. There is no secondary school near Khuntae village, so commuting is not an option.

School excursions to selected venues that are natural history, conservation and wildlife focused. These special trips are funded by GibbonSong with great assistance from Khuntae School teaching staff and a local municipality administration officer. They provide the essential, safe transport and supervision.

The “GibbonSong Bush Camp”. A unique camping accommodation in the jungle/forest near the Khuntae village is almost finished. By approved application only, this experience will be for GibbonSong guests with a real interest in the tropical, mountainous forest environment and its wildlife and birdlife. A chance to hear and even see the endangered White Handed Gibbon (Hylobates lar) in its wild environment. Created for the assistance of the local Karen people, and providing an income for the local Karen site manager.

GibbonSong ETLK Tours are for Australians to see the real north Thailand in four star style affordably. Two-week very small group private adventure tours. Four times per year with a scenic, cultural, wildlife and flora focus with like-minded people. This new venture will assist with the funding of our projects.
