CHIANG MAI -

Gateway to the north and traditional home to artists and intricate crafts including silk weaving, woodcarving, lacquer and silverware, all on display and sale for collectors of the authentic. Also tops for festivals, folk dance, golf and outstanding regional cuisine. Set in a floral valley dotted with temples, villages and a working elephant camp, Thailand's second largest city is the primary base for exploring the cooler, mountainous north.
Superb new range of hotels and spas.

MAE HONG SON - A short flight from Chiang Mai, this north-western town close to the Burmese border is another comfortable base for excursions to tribal villages and hilltop temples as well as riverboat and elephant rides. Quieter than Chiang Rai with less choice of hotels

CHIANG RAI to the northeast is an ideal base for river rafting or trekking by four-track, mountain bike or on foot to tribal villages. Cross-border visits and Mekong River cruises can be arranged. Good choice of hotels and spas.

GOLDEN TRIANGLE - With four sides where Thailand’s borders meet Laos, China and Burma. An area of rolling hills, mist-shrouded jungles and hidden temples alongside the mighty Mekong River.
