Thailand - Northern Thailand - click here to buy on Amazon
The region’s premier draw is its nature, and its rugged geography is a playground for outdoor pursuits ranging from a rafting excursion in Um Phang to a hike among wild orchids in Mae Hong Son.
For those drawn to the human side of things, there’s also northern Thailand’s buffet of cul-tural attractions. The region is regarded as the birthplace of much of Thai culture and is a great place to take part in activities, from exploring a Buddhist temple in Phrae to crashing at a homestay in rural Sukhothai.
In the north, even niche players are catered for: intrepid explorers can join a hill-tribe trek in Mae Sariang or a road trip to Phayao; history buffs can travel back in time at Sukhothai Historical Park; and even the most devout beach bum could be converted by the inland party scene in Pai.
- explore one of Thailand’s lesser-known protected areas, Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park

- investigate the unique culture of northern Thailand’s remote Chinese outposts at Doi Mae Salong
