From the mist-shrouded mountains and ancient temples of Thailand to the spiritual serenity and dramatic karst landscapes of Laos, you'll uncover a rich tapestry of traditions, encounter diverse communities, and witness breathtaking scenery that will leave an indelible mark on your soul.
Your extensive journey begins in Chiang Mai, the "Rose of the North" in Thailand.

From Chiang Mai, your adventure continues to Chiang Rai, the gateway to the infamous Golden Triangle. This historically rich region, where the borders of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar converge along the mighty Mekong River, offers a unique blend of natural beauty and intriguing past. You’ll be spellbound by the surreal beauty of the Wat Rong Khun (White Temple), a gleaming masterpiece of contemporary Buddhist art, and the vibrant hues of the Wat Rong Suea Ten (Blue Temple).
