Thailand is such a beautiful country that I could help but take a huge number of pictures. What you can see here represents the good fraction of those taken!
We started in Bangkok, got the night-train up to Chang Mai and a boat up to Chiang Rai. From there we mini-bused and walked through some Hill Tribe villages back to Chiang Mai, Bangkok and then flew home. A tiring couple of weeks, but well worth it for the scenery alone.
Note that the spelling of many Thai places are not strictly standardised. I’ve used the spellings that our tour-guide or my Lonely Planet guide used, but you may well see others.

If the pictures have piqued your interest, there are a few web sites that you might want to visit:
- Lonely Planet have a useful guide to Thailand, including a large number of interesting links.
- If you prefer hard-copy (much more portable than your laptop!), you can buy a copy from Amazon (UK or US).
- Some of the above pictures were taken in some of the northern Hilltribe villages. This web site gives some useful information about them.
