Explore the North of Thailand

Many of Thailand’s visitors head to Bangkok or the beaches and islands in the South, but Northern Thailand also offers a staggering range of spectacular destinations. The north is an extensive region with sprawling mountains with ancient valleys and rivers.

Northern Thailand straddles an important historical junction where peoples from China, Laos, Myanmar (Burma), Thailand and beyond have traded commodities and ideas for thousands of years. Let ASIA DMC take you on an adventure, which showcases the landscapes and culture in relatively untraveled provinces such as Chiang Rai, Lampang, Phrae, Nan and Payao.
