Chiang Mai & The North

Up in the mountains of northern Thailand, you’ll find a place that feels like a world unto itself. Explore the old city of Chiang Mai, with its ancient temples tucked away in misty mountains. Its quieter sister, Chiang Rai, lies even further north. Stay here and watch the sunrise over the mountains of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar at the Golden Triangle before taking a long-tail boat along the mighty Mekong river. The little town of Pai, a bohemian bolt-hole surrounded by mountains and emerald rice paddies, is sure to steal your heart. Away from the beaches of the south, the North of Thailand has a magic entirely of its own.
