| By now you will have read all about
the SCUBA diving on Koh Tao offered by Buddha
View dive resort on www.khaosanroad.com so lets
explain all about Chiangmai, the trekking and
our packages. |
|
| Chiangmai is a city built on the
roots of a traditional heritage that digs deep
into the soil of time. For tourists, the name
Chiangmai brings to mind a tranquil and fascinating
land with beautiful ladies and colorful flowers
plus a rich culture and diverse tradition. Named
"Rose of the North" for the abundance of flowers
that thrive in its cooler mountain climate, Chiangmai
has grown from its origin as a small northern
Lanna capital to become a city representative
of modern Thai culture. The people themselves
are an unforgettable part of Chiangmai. Handicrafts
made from silk, silver and wood are timeless souvenirs
for visitors to take home. Along with all this,
a wide variety of accommodations, restaurants
and entertainment establishments helps make Chiangmai
one of Thailand's prime tourist attractions. |
| |
| Chiangmai is 700 kilometers north
of Bangkok and is nestled in a valley 310 meters
(1,027 feet) above sea level.There are mountains
all around the valley rising to heights of more
than 2,500 meters. The highest mountain is Doi
Inthanon which, at 2,565 meters, is Thailand's
highest peak. |
| |
| Chiangmai has a cooler and drier
climate than other parts of Thailand. It has three
main seasons : cool (late October to mid-February);
summer (late February to May) and rainy (June
to October). Average temperatures are 21 degrees
Centigrade during the cool season; 30 degrees
Centigrade during summer; and 25 degrees Centigrade
during the rainy season. |
| |
| Just to the north of Chiangmai lies
the sleepy town of Pai surrounded by mountains,
jungles and hilltribes and this is where our trekking
tours take place. |
| |
| The Tour … |
| |
| For 3 days and 2 nights we will
walk you around the beautiful Pai area with a
local guide who will educate you all about the
northern flora and fauna. |
| |
| You will sleep in the villages of
the local hill tribes and observe and learn about
their traditions whilst enjoying the peace and
tranquility of the jungle. |
| |
| Our local guide will cook traditional
northern Thai food for you in the evenings whilst
you recover from the days exertions and will explain
anything you need to know about hill tribe life
and culture. |
| |
| On the last day we will take you
to the local elephant camp where you can ride
an elephant for an hour down to the river before
jumping onto a bamboo raft for a spell of river
rafting. |
| |
| Finally we put you in a zodiac dinghy
for some real white water rafting before taking
you back to Chiangmai. |
