Thailand's Northern Thailand
Northern Thailand
Presided over by Thailand’s highest mountain, Doi Intahanon, the Northern Region offers an unalloyed array of lush landscapes, breathtaking architecture and intriguing cultures. With a plethora of scenic vistas to entertain your eyes, bustling markets to stimulate your ears, and indigenous welcomes to delight your soul, Northern Thailand’s wealth of treasures is one not to be missed.
Still, it remains Northern Thailand’s wealth of Hill Tribes, many of whom emigrated from Laos, southwestern China, Burma and Tibet, who call these verdant hills home and provide Northern Thailand its unique appeal and robust feel. These more than half a million tribal people retain their traditional costume, religion, art and way of life, and prove an enlightening introduction for all who visit. Rent a motorbike or find an experience guide, and visit the various tribes throughout the north. The unsurpassed hospital and colorful cultures of these indigenous people will undoubtedly be one of your most memorable Thai experiences.
