northern Thailand
Lanna's home area
Northern Thailand is the mountainous region of Thailand bordering Myanmar, Laos, and the country's central plains.
Chiang Mai serves as its cultural and economic center.
The area is known for its distinct Lanna heritage, hill tribe communities, cooler climate, and teak forests.
We spent two weeks trekking through northern Thailand.
