An alternative approach to the classic combination of Bangkok, the north of Thailand and a beach. Our two week ‘Alternative Thailand’ tour starts in the charming northern capital of Chiang Mai, then takes you on a loop of the less developed district of Mae Hon Song, bordering Myanmar, for several days hiking and rafting in spectacular countryside. You will then visit the provincial city of Lampang, and travel on an overnight train to Bangkok for two days to explore and soak up the atmosphere. Round off your adventure with a few nights on Koh Phangan - fast becoming oneof Thailand’s hippest beach destinations.
