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.

Nan is an area that hasn't been spoiled by mass tourism, so it's an ideal place for people who like to go off the beaten path. Nan is a typical provincial town, with empty streets and a slower sense of time. There is a significant cultural legacy with the primarily northern style temples, especially Lanna. It's easy to combine a stay in northern Thailand with Chiang Rai and Phayao. You can tour the city on foot, because everything there is to see is concentrated in the city center. There are the Nan National Museum and the textile museum, which are worth a little visit. As for temples, I recommend Wat Phumin, which was just renovated. It's beautifully decorated and has unique murals. Right out in front, I was able to attend a course between a monk and his apprentices at the temple of Wat Phra That Chang Kham. A short distance away, the 600-year old temple of Phrathat Chae Haeng is also worth a little side trip. For a nice evening, I like the atmosphere of the night market not too far from the river.
