The
finest old wooden temples, World Heritage historical
parks, untamed jungle, rugged mountainous scenery
and hill tribes in the remote reaches of north-western
Thailand await you on this tour.
This WorldClass Drive takes you south to the city of
Lampang before going on to the historical birthplace
of the Thai Kingdom at Sukhothai. From there the full
tour goes west to the border town of Mae Sot, a colourful
ethnic crossroads.
A
special tour goes south to the boundary of Thailand's
last remaining extensive reserve of primary forest.
There the remote district town of Umphang is the base
for eco-adventure into the jungle for two days or
more.
From
Mae Sot the return route follows the Thai-Myanmar
border north-west along the Moei River through country
populated by the Karen. Striking karst scenery is
followed by a pass through mountainous country to
the Yuam River Valley and Mae Sariang. Turning north-east,
the route crosses a major watershed before entering
the valley of the River Ping and passing the highest
mountain in Thailand en route back to Chiang Mai.
The
full tour programme takes five days, but this can
be shortened by returning to Chiang Mai directly from
Sukhothai on alternative routes. This tour also offers
scenic and cultural alternatives to the northern section
of the busy main highway between Chiang Mai and Bangkok.
