Travel Overview of Northern Thailand – Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Mae Hong Son
Northern Thailand is a mountainous part of the country which borders Myanmar and Laos, characterized by its rugged terrain and mix of peoples such as mainland Thais, Burmese, Shan and hilltribe groups (Karen, Hmong, Lahu, Lisu and Akha). These characteristics give Northern Thailand a culture and feel about it that is very different to the rest of Thailand.
