Chiang
Mai & The North

The
scenery of northern Thailand is a dramatic contrast to other regions.
The emphasis, here, is on rugged hills, forested vistas and rushing
rivers. There are colourful hilltribe folk and a distinctly different
culture and cuisine to discover. As well as historic cities, visit
tiny villages noted for original handicrafts. What better way to
explore all of these contrasts than by self-drive car?
Discovering the North
With Royal Orchid Holidays and Fly-Drive options, travelers are
presented with a flexible choice of vacation opportunities covering
the whole of northern Thailand. Before considering self-drive touring
prospects, select an inclusive package arrangement, of two or more
days, in Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai. This will provide an introduction
to the charming atmosphere of these hospitable cities. But the full
diversity of scenery and varied attractions of the region will be
best appreciated during an independent self-drive itinerary. Travelers
can reserve their hotels at various locations in advance through
the Royal Orchid Holidays system, or can make their own arrangements
throughout their tour plan. Luxurious hotels are found in major
cities, and reasonable accommodation is available in smaller towns.
Good maps and a guidebook will help with advance route planning.
