You start on a narrow village lane as morning light slants over tiered rice paddies; bicycles creak to life and a local guide steers the group past teak groves, homefront kitchens and a roadside batik stall where dye and wax still dictate pattern. The air here carries the smell of wet earth and coffee; the landscape pushes you forward, a low ridge offering a sudden, sweep of the southern plain.
