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.

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.

When I was staying in Chiang Rai I was dying to know what the Golden Triangle was like, so I hired a motorbike and set off to explore the region. Wiang Chai was my first stop on the road. The landscape around Wiang Chai is mostly made up of rice paddies where you can see the locals working during the day, and in the distance are the mountains looming above the fields. If you get the chance to go there when the rice is still brilliant green, you’ll find the views even more amazing. If you get the urge to play a few rounds, you’ll find an 18 hole golf course at the Santiburi Country Club, near the city of Wiang Chai, ideal for lovers of sporting vacations!
