The Fair Trek team

Markus Neuer

Founder

After leaving his mother country of Germany over decade ago, Markus fell in love with Laos and its people. He has a passion for social entrepreneurship, and a motivation to give back to the community. His vision to create a more beneficial way for locals to benefit from tourism inspired him to create Fair Trek.

Khamchaen Thamamesay

Operations Manager

Ask Khamchaen about any village in Laos and chances are he’s already been there. He’s explored and visited some of the most remote and unknown villages in northern Laos. He’s lived in Luang Prabang for 30 years, but calls his Phou Noi village in Phongsaly home. His infectious laugh and humour always lighten the mood!

Tiger Trail Travel was established in 2000 to provide sustainable travel experiences. Fairtrek is our community-based tourism brand. Our long-standing relationships with local communities and team of expert local tour guides allow us to develop engaging travel experiences throughout Laos. Our experienced Fair Trek tour guides have been trained to lead tourist and student groups with respect and professionalism and are always eager to show students – and group leaders – what makes Laos so unique. Our relationship with our guides is founded in trust, they are always eager to learn and love adventure and travel.
This team of local English Speaking guides will be with the group to translate, help, inform and organize the local logistics during the trip. They are a support for the Partner Organization’s leaders. They are the most valuable part of our team since they live and know by heart everything there is to know about Laos and its culture. We invite you to involve them and ask them about their experiences, and we are sure they will be happy to share their stories.
