WHY THIS TRIP
The north you walk and the south you jump into
The Thailand worth the trip is not the crowded beaches. It is the north: Chiang Mai with its three hundred temples, the jungle around Pai, the Karen and Lahu villages where you sleep in family homes, and Doi Inthanon, the roof of the country at 2,565 metres, where mornings are ten degrees and the forest is covered in moss.

Accommodation
Guesthouse a Chiang Mai, villaggio Karen, bungalow sulle isole
Then you go south to the Andaman islands: Railay, reachable only by boat because limestone walls cut it off from the mainland, and the lagoons of Ko Phi Phi. You walk, you climb, you kayak among the pinnacles and you finish with salt on your hands.
