I’m planning to visit Northern Thailand for a week, what is the must visit places?

I have lived in Thailand for over 5 years now, In the North there are MANY places to see and a LOT to do. Or do nothing at all.

Chaing Rai is the perfect base to explore from. It is the 3rd largest city in Thailand, but it is one of the most removed cities also.

Most guest houses in town are less than $25.00 a night, some as low as 300 Baht. food is much cheaper too. Yes there are bars, trecking, elephants monkeys, the white Temple, Hill tribes, guisers, hot springs, fishing, caves, Great areas along the Mei Kok river and 3 of the large hotels have lunch buffets that have some falang food (not too spicy).

The night bazarre is safe and nice to kill a few nights at. Through out the year there are a lot of festivials, you might luck out.

It is about 40 miles to the border of Myanmar and about that far from the golden triangle. This is where the the Thai monarcy started out in Mai Sai.

The queen mothers palace and grounds are in Chaing Rai as well. You can also take a long tail boat up- river (500 baht)to a small town at the border with Myanmar, from there you can catch the bus back to Chaing Rai, or go southwest to Chaing Mai. Chaing mai has more tourist, bars, and tourist traps, but they also have a burger king for that burger FIX. There are monkey temples,elephant camps, Jungle, and a lot of really great people.

If you are interested in learning how to prepare Thai food (the real kind)

my wife also teaches cooking classes.

A very nice area in the sticks is a town called Wiang Khan. they grow oranges, pomello, mushrooms, and it is near the Mei Khong and 35 miles to Puchi Fa. If you go please try to drop off spare shoes , cloths, towels, etc. at the small Catholic church orphanage. there are 49 kids that sure could use them.

Hello! I've a U.S. student studying in London right now. I've been to 16 of the 27 EU countries so let me tell ou what I know. First of all, the fact of the matter is, that you will not get the same bang for the buck visiting the big countries (France, London) as you will in some of the off-the-beaten trail cities. In Paris and London especially, you will find yourself paying more, seeing things you've seen before (on postcards) and being treated like another tourist. That said, if you are in Europe for 11 days, and since you will be travelling from India, it would be sensible to visit London, since you will be able to orient yourselves to the time zone/culture without having to go through the language barrier. The second reason London is a great staritng point is that, if you would rather spend your money on dinner/hotels than on flights, then London is also the jumping off point for Easyjet and Ryanair flights, both of which will take you to great European cities for as little as $40/20p. That said, here are some places you should consider: Vienna, Austria (2-4 days) - Less touristy than Paris, and the architecture is stunning . It's not as romantic (they speak German, not French, after all) but the Viennese cafe culture, the unbelievable palaces, and the sensible locals will more than make up for it. Riga, Latvia (1-3 days) - The undiscovered gem of the new EU countries. The city center is unlike anything you've seen - completely art nouveau, with every building facade covered by sculpted faces and the like. The night life here is also incredible. Istanbul, Turkey (As long as you can stay) - It's not 100% Europe, but it's within flight distance, and it feels like the center of a (if not "the") universe. No way to sum it up in a paragraph, but a quick wikipedia search might do the trick. Anywhere, Italy (2-3 days per city) - Walk by the beach, buy some cream gelati (vanilla ice cream) and see the place European tourists have been flocking to for 400 years. You cannot go wrong going anywhere Italy, but generally avoid Milan (overpriced and overcrowd) and tend towards the classics: Venice, Rome, and Florence. Krakow, Poland (1-3 days) - Europe's laregest open air plaza (we're talking acres and acres of open air walking space) and a beautiful city centre that survived World War II. The food is great (Kebabs and Pierogi). Lisbon or Porto, Portugal (1-4 days) - Portugal is advertising itself as "Europe's West Coast" and it's not difficult to see why. Relaxed locales, beautiful beaches, modern transportation, and the knowledge that you've haven't been suckered into the "East Coast" metropolis of Barcelona are all key attractions. Portugal is the poorest/cheapest country in Western Europe, which may be an attraction or it may eb a turn off, depending on what you are looking for! Finally, the ONLY travel books worth buying for Europe are the Lonely Planet guides, which I highly, highly recommend. Good luck, and enjoy your stay!

You should go to Chiang Mai; see the night market with folk songs being played in the back ground. Then if you like nature go up north a bit to Mae Hong Sorn or Chiang Rai which you could see the hill tribes or go elephant riding plus there are borders in these provinces which you could take a peek at Myanmar. I would've sugested Pai if it were 5-10 years ago. But I just went there last year and was not impressed because it was too crowded it felt like Khao Sarn Road. Hope it helps.

You are welcome to Thailand.

I would recommend Chiang Mai as it is the most famous, largest and most culturally significant city in the north of Thailand. There are a lot of ancient temples, interesting and famous national parks.

We can say that Chiang Mai is the place where is so much to see and so many memories to bring back with you.

Have a wonderful time in Thailand.

try something different; try Uttradit and the province just north of it...can't remember the name right now but has beautiful mountains.

also must see Chaing Mai

Happy travels.

Popular entertainment centres in the vicinity of the areas.

Are you a hybrid between Mr. Bean's on holiday and Mr. Laden on hidding?
