About this trip
Four days travelling overland from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai, taking in the historical and natural side of northern Thailand along the way.
Expect a mix of old temples, rural scenery and local food, with some wildlife encounters worked in. Kept to a small group of up to 8, so it stays personal rather than a coach-load affair.
It's an easy-paced route through the north, good for families or anyone wanting culture and countryside without a punishing schedule.
