Chiang Mai located 700 kilometers North of Bangkok. Here you will discover a landscape of high forested hills and idyllic river valleys, while the cities, towns and villages of the region display a distinct culture arising from a long and separate history.
The city is a treasure trove of ancient temples, fascinating for their distinctive Northern Thai architectural style and rich decorative detail. Chiang Mai is equally famous for its wealth of traditional handicrafts-in silk, wood, silver, ceramics and more.
Beyond, the countryside beckons, offering adventure travel by trekking, elephant-back river rafting where the traditional villages of colorful hill-tribe people are a unique feature in the landscape.
Trekking is one of the most popular outdoor activities enjoyed by visitors of all ages. While trekking you can soothe your mind and spirit in the fresh air and stunning scenery of Thailand’s undiscovered wilds, and get a comprehensive aerobic workout at the same time.
Treks can range from a single day’s light excursion to physically challenging adventures of a week or more.
