The two northern cities of Thailand, Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai are arguably the most culturally unique pocket of the entire Orient. Chiang Rai is the gateway to the Golden Triangle, where the borders of Thailand, Burma and Laos meet and where several ethnic hill tribes live, each with their distinct language, customs and costumes. Chiang Mai is a delightful city, still surrounded by its medieval moat, with scores of temples, a Night Bazaar and access to hill tribes. Both cities offer elephant jungle treks and rafting, plus excellent shopping.
