Here’s a quick run-down of my favorite places in Northern Thailand. Again, this was at the request of a friend of mine who will be visiting the area. Hope it helps!

I also really liked Northern Thailand so I hung out there for quite a while. When you get close to Northern Thailand, you’ll want to start looking at Pai (Laid-Back Hippy Town-eat at The Good Life and stay across the street at Baan Pai Village), Chiang Mai (Beautiful-100’s of Temples within inner city walls) and Mae Hong Song (visit Mae Awe on Thai/Myanmar border-magical little town-hit at sunset…not sure if they have places to stay-buy the best tea you’ll ever find anywhere-the ginseng is amazing!) to visit in Northern Thailand.

You’ll also want to go to Doi Inthanon (highest point in Thailand and amazing Stupas near the top-and I mean amazing…hit them right at sunset for best pictures) and Doi Suthep (on hill right by Chiang Mai, nice way to cool off from the heat of the city-rent motorbike at Smile Rentals from a female named Joe 1 block into inner cityfrom Thapae Gate which is right by the Sunday and Night markets). Whew!
That should be enough to keep you busy for a while. :-)
