From the golden temples, opulent palaces and hustle and bustle of Bangkok, experience a journey northward through ancient ruins and hilltribes of Northern Thailand, Northwest Laos and Southern China. Traverse beautifully terraced rice fields; meander through colorful, local markets; enjoy delicious Asian cuisine; visit and learn about ethnic hilltribes; cycle through villages to ancient ruins, explore the Stone Forest of Kunming but most of all experience the smiles and warmth of exotic and beautiful cultures.
From Bangkok, travel overland to Chiang Mai, known as the City of Roses and onward to Chiang Rai. Journey into Laos’ undeveloped tribal northwest before entering China’s tribal center to Xishuangbanna and continue to Kunming, Yunnan’s urban center and capital for your trip departure.
For culture buffs, our route retraces the origins of Thai culture and history from Tribal Southern China to modern day Bangkok. Learn and experience aspects of this predominantly Buddhist culture, which still clings to its ancient spirit and animist beliefs. Your journey will leave you enlightened! |
