Visiting Thailands North Provinces

First Things First

First Things First

Although Thailand is a great place to visit, when you venture out of the main cities and tourist locations, you will often be confronted with third world conditions. While this is nothing to be alarmed by, it is something that all travellers should be aware of.

Theft and poor food preparation and hygiene skills are something that you may notice in certain areas, which is why it is important to purchase comprehensive travel insurance. Not only will this cover your medical bills should fall ill from something simple such as gastro (even treatment for this illness can be expensive), but if something should get stolen, that too could be replaced, depending on your policy.

Discover Thailand

Some of the most popular places for tourists in Thailand are Bangkok, Phuket, Phi Phi Island and Koh Samui. However, there are many more destinations that should be seen, to really be believed:

Chiang Mai full of traditional heritage

Chiang Rai situated 785 kilometres north of Bangkok

Kamphaengphet the name means strong as walls or forts made of diamonds

Lampang famous for their horse-drawn carriages
