Chiang Mai & Northern Thailand
Northern Thailand is a complete contrast to Bangkok and an essential part of any visit to Thailand. It is well worth exploring the smaller towns and villages of this delightful region to experience their unique charm, culture, tradition and warm hospitality. The gateway to the North, Chiang Mai, a former Thai Kingdom is scattered with ancient Buddhist temples and holds some of Thailand's best night markets. Chiang Rai is a small attractive town and a good base from which to explore the picturesque Golden Triangle on the borders of Laos and Burma. Meet the ethnic hilltribes, try your hand at Thai cooking, take a relaxing Elephant ride and immerse yourself in this magical destination.
