Northern Thailand : The Hills of Mae Charim

The delights of Thailand’s beaches and islands are world renowned – these mist shrouded mountains and lush forests of the far North are still waiting to be discovered. Beginning in Bangkok we’ll head North via the ruined ancient Siamese Capital of Sukhothai to remote Nan Province on the Lao border to trek and raft through spectacular Mae Charim National Park.

Please note that for those with a few more days to spare in Northern Thailand, a 5D/5N extension, "Chiang Rai and the Golden Triangle" is now available for this trip.
