North of Thailand -Thailand Travel Guide for Tourist all Destination

NORTH OF THAILAND

A place of ‘picture postcard’ beauty and wonder… Blessed with some of the best scenery in the kingdom, the north is a region of forests and Mountains and rivers and waterfalls, often set against a backdrop
of swirling mists and fog. Living amongst this scenic splendor are Thailand’s hill tribes – peoples whose conventions and customs differ from mainstream Thai culture and whose ways of life have altered little in generations. Many of Thailand’s superior handicrafts are produced by northern hill tribes, making this an excellent place to pick up authentic gifts, keepsakes and souvenirs of your journey. The north is also a region of adventure.Rafting on rapids, mountain treks, mountain biking and even elephant
safaris make exploring the region as exhilarating as it is fascinating. The north of Thailand is also a place steeped in history and culture. Home to Yonok and Lanna Kingdoms, the north is awash with temples, museums, historical sites and artefacts that testify to the region’s historical significance. But the north is equally placed in the modern world – Chiang Mai(the region’s focal point for tourism) is a modern city with clubs and pubs and entertainment befitting any major city.
