Is the cooler climate the best reason to head for north? It has more to give you! Northern Thailand is a perfect option with an outwardly positive vibe to a vivid Thailand: giant Tha Pae Gate in the 14th century, the ancient centre of Thailand: Sukhothai, tea plantations, Lanna culture architectures, ethnic minorities hill tribes, the opium history in The Golden Triangle, mountainous valleys and a lot adventure activities! Hill tribes trekking or volunteering in an ethical elephant sanctuary! Even the festivals are bigger than anywhere else in Thailand: Loy Krathong Festival (Yi Peng) and Songkran Festival (Thai New Year) are fantastic experience!
