Discover North of Thailand

Many of Thailand’s visitors head to Bangkok or the beaches and islands in the South, but Northern Thailand also offers a staggering range of amazing destinations. Hidden among the forested mountains, this area is a playground for outdoor pursuits – hiking, rafting, kayaking and caving opportunities abound.

Jungles and breathtaking pristine scenery can be found throughout the region, mountain trekking is possible and many small villages are filled with locals who live a life far differently than Thais living in big cities.

Join us a trip to Northern Thailand:

Pai – Pai should be your top choice in the Northern Thailand itinerary if you are keen on the tropical sanctuary. It is a great place to rejuvenate with yoga classes, massage places, and healthy food conscious eateries. Pai is surrounded by spectacular natural scenery with waterfalls, canyon and hill tribe villages to explore. Pai also offers a lively nightlife with plenty of bars and activities to choose from.

Nan – Nan is so charming, it is an ideal place to experience true Thai culture. Nan is characterized by Tai Lue culture and there’s nowhere better to experience this ethnic heritage. Here, there are lots of things to admire: the Blessing Buddha at Wat Phra That Khao Noi, Thai Lu murals at Wat Phumin and Nan National Museum, etc. In the evening, tourists would love to take a relaxing stroll along the banks of the Nan River or enjoy tasting new flavors at the ‘walking street’ market.

Phrae – Head off the main tourist trail and visit the Northern Thai town of Phrae. Here, you get a chance to discover nature at the mushroom rock formations at Phae Mueang Phi Forest Park, immerse in history at Khum Chao Luang museum or get some culture at Wat Luang. Try new dishes at the Saturday ‘walking street’ market or see local artisans at work at Ban Thung Hong which specializes in indigo-dyed fabrics.

Chiang Rai – Chiang Rai, not to be confused with Chiang Mai, is well worth a visit. Gain a deeper cultural insight into the area, relax in a refreshing pool at the foot of a cascading waterfall, discover diverse hill tribes, and much more. Chiang Rai is renowned for attractions such as the quirky Wat Rong Khun (The White Temple), the morbid Baan Dam Museum (The Black House) and the surrounding area like Doi Mae Salong.
