On the border of times. Northern express

The North of Thailand is a wonderful place where time and space merge together. The splendorous Mekong River makes a natural border of three countries united by their smuggling past. These mountains are inhabited by descendants from Laos, Burma and Southern China. The time dissolves boundaries: discerning townsmen and humble villagers who worship spirits and run primitive households amicably live together. When walking along the streets of Chiang Rai founded in the XIII century you still can encounter silent witnesses of the events which were happening here over 500 years. The walls and murals keep memory of the warriors of the ancient kingdom. Chiang Rai is famous for its modern architecture just as well which has become history just over few years.

Chiang Mai, the ancient cultural center of the country, the navel which cords up the past and the present. Modern masters of wood carving and fan painting do their job just like their ancestors did it centuries ago and needlework and batik mistresses keep the secrets of their art to pass them to future generations.

We invite you to explore the vast expanses of the most atmospheric region of the Kingdom, inhale the fresh mountain air and thumb through the historical book of Thailand. Sense the incessancy of times and traditions.
