This Thailand Adventure is named after the area where Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar (previously Burma) meet. The tour focuses on the mountainous highlands of Thailand's northern provinces and south to the Kanchanaburi Province. The Adventure begins and ends in Chiang Mai in the far north of the country. The city is an ideal location from which to base our Adventures as it's ideally situated for trips to the region's ancient temples, the teak forests and their working elephants, caves and waterfalls, and the northern hill tribes.

The Highlights include: The mountainous jungles and rainforests of the country's northwest provinces; a visit to remote villages of the Karen hill-tribe people, famous for their long necks and neck rings; the ancient kingdom of Sukhothai, regarded as the first capital of Siam and site of a Khmer empire; an excursion into Burma (now Myanmar) and a visit to the market areas and nearby Buddhist temples; Kanchanaburi Province and the "Death Railway Bridge", better known as the Bridge over the River Kwai; and The Dol Suthep Temple, one of the most famous temples in Thailand.

Chiang Mai in the far north is Thailand's second-largest city and a center for excursions to the region's ancient and beautiful temples, the teak forests and their working elephants, caves and waterfalls, and journeys to visit the northern hill tribes. The main attractions are the Doi Suthep temple and elephant trekking. Doi Suthep is one of the most famous temples in northern Thailand. Perched high on a hilltop, it offers fine views over the city on clear days. The trip up can either be made via a funicular or a grand staircase with 400 steps. The banisters alone are worth a visit: a giant green-and-red glazed serpent winds its way down to end in a magnificent dragon's head.

Arrival in Chiang Mai, transfer to hotel, motorcycle handover, kickoff meeting and welcome dinner.
