Central West Thailand: Tak Province is located
450 km.north of Bangkok and 250 km.south of Chiang Mai
with the Myanmar (Burma) border 85 km.to the west. In
the 1890’s Tak, on the banks of the river Ping, was at
the heart of the teak logging trade dominated by the
Borneo Co. and Louis T. Leonowens (son of Anna
Leonowens who taught English to several of King
Monkut’s 82 children, characterized in the movie “The
King and I”) Prior to the arrival of the railways, the
journey from Bangkok to the remote northern outpost of
Chiang Mai could consume three months of arduous
travel. First, up river by flat boat, then by elephant
into the highlands fighting floods, insects, bandits,
tropical heat and the inevitable man-eating tiger. It
was in this environment that Tak first became popular
as a safe natural break for travelers heading north!
Fortunately things are somewhat different today with a
4-lane highway making the journey through scenic
tropical countryside interesting and relaxing.
Flight’s are also available to local airports at Phitsanuloke and Sukhothai (Short onward flights to
visit the haunting ruins of the ancient Angor Wat
Khmer temple in Cambodia are available for cultural
explorers).
Though
not internationally famous (no crowds) Tak Province
provides a charming step back in time offering stress
free rural country style living in beautiful, clean,
natural surroundings. Golf, biking, kayaking, rafting,
trekking, Sukhothai World Heritage site , exciting
local markets and the Burmese border at Maesot are all
options to enjoy. Also Bhummiphol Dam, the largest in
Thailand is just a short drive away and well worth
exploring. |

Northern Thailand: Amidst rolling foot hills
some 700 kilometers north of Bangkok is the culturally
rich city of Chiang Mai, the longest continuously
lived in settlement from the ancient days of Siam.
Foundered in 1296 AD it remained isolated to the
outside world until the railways arrived in the 1920’s
which has helped maintain its distinctive charm up to
the present day. Chiang Mai is not only the home of
culture, charm, handcrafts and hospitality but is
packed with adventure options as well. Elephant
riding, trekking, hiking, camping and long tail boat
rides are all popular activities and are offered in
our personalized excursions.
Orchids, butterflies, and exotic flora and fauna will
surround you, friendly hill tribe people greet you,
with waterfalls and spectacular mountain top vistas to
take your breath away. This is the best way to enjoy
the unique natural beauty of Northern Thailand's country
side and it's people.
