Second Guide:

It takes about one hour to Kayan tribe (Panpet group; Pu Ku, Ran Ku, Daw Kie, Ka Thae Ku and Ban Ca) by car and soft trek. On the way back, go to Ta Nee Laleh village(Kayah tribe) = 70 USD (1-2 paxs)
***Outside Loikaw Town, permission is needed.
To apply for permission in advance to office for villages(a copy of passport and visa). Permission fee = 15 USD
**Guide fee = 35 USD per day
**Some Donation in villages
The second one is cheaper and I visit the same tribes but different villages, do you know if one of them is more interesting that the other one? The most expensive one is from Clement that everyone speaks good things here.
Thank you
