The Khong Chiam region is still largely unaffected by tourism and, for those willing to explore it, offers spectacular scenery and the promise of peaceful days spent well away from the noise and chaos of the urban environment. With its waterfalls, cliffs and rock paintings, Pha Taem is the kind of place you simply never tire of exploring.

Are you ready for the trip of a lifetime? Travelling in an auto rickshaw will make you feel Bangkok, the hyperactive capital, buzz with life. Next step: the south of Thailand, which is even more charming… Bays, coves, bungalows on deserted beaches, clear water and colourful corals, underwater caves and rocks springing from the sea. Your journey to Thailand will allow you to experience the flavour of salty water, diving and blissful idleness.You will continue your journey north to Chiang Mai, where you will learn so much: there are so many cooking classes and massage courses to choose from. Later, you will take one of the most beautiful roads in the north, Chiang Maia Mae Hong Son, a journey brave travellers will take on two wheels. Between discovering misty, jungle-covered hillsides and villages nestled deep in splendid valleys: your stay in Thailand will be almost supernaturally beautiful.

Thale Noi is an ecologically important area in Southern Thailand. Because I regularly stay in Nakhon Si Thammarat, I visit this southern part of Thailand a lot. It is often ignored by tourists, so those who like to get off the beaten track should really enjoy it. On this particular day it was Pattalung I was heading for, the province where Talay Noi is located. To explore the lake you have to rent a boat. I borrowed a hat to protect me from the sun as I toured the lake. Thale Noi  is famous for its wildlife, especially the numerous migratory birds that stay there.And I wasn't disappointed.There were all kinds of birds hiding in the reeds and other types of vegetation covering the lake. On occasion you also come across water buffalo, grazing against a backdrop of mountain peaks and birds taking flight.It really is a nice atmosphere.Before leaving, I climbed up to the temple, which sits on a hill not far from the lake from whereyou can see the surrounding area and enjoy superb views out over the whole ofThaleNoi.
