Thailand ends at Chiang
Rai, the mountainous province that touches borders with
Myanmar and Laos. This is soft adventure country, where
you can enjoy trekking to various hilltribe villages,
mountain biking and river rafting.
Popular activities include rafting down the Kok River
form Thaton into Chiang Rai town, stopping at tribal villages
on the way, or boating along the mighty Mekong River from
the Golden Triangle to the ancient towns of Chiang Saen,
with its serene temples, and Chiang Khong, the gateway
into Laos.
For superb mountain scenery, none can match the impact
of Doi Mae Salong or the unusual Chinese town of Santikhiri
perched on the peak, with opportunities for some strenuous
treks to nearby hilltribe communities. Further north,
Doi Tung offers great scenic views. However, it is the
home of the late Princess Mother, whose Swiss chalet palace
and beautiful gardens are open to the public, and the
various hilltribe villages that attract visitors. |
