| Northern Thailand Forum Northern Thailand, home of Lanna and Yonok Kingdoms. Visit the temples of the north including the famous Doi Suthep or relax at one of the many restaurants along the Ping River. For the more adventurous go on a trek, ride an elephant, visit the hilltribes and see the long necked Karen. Take a tour to the Golden Triangle or shop in the markets at Chiang Rai. A trip to the North is an experience never to be forgotten. |

  | I usually blast right through Chiang Rai on the way to Doi Mae Salong which is a really lovely area. Some good trip reports in the northern forum |

| Nice part of the world up that way and, with your own transport CR makes a good base. I reckon the gems are even further north- DM Salong as Earl said, and the town of Tha Ton and surrounds is real nice too- and you can get a river ferry from CR. Doi Angkhang area is reachable, but an easier drive from Chiang Mai.
