Northern Half - Chiang Mai to Kanchanaburi

December 8, 2008 to December 22, 2008

We start the Tour de Thailand with 15 days / 14 nights covering the Northern half of this amazing country.

We recommend riders arrive a little early to Chiang Mai to get acclimated, ease the jet-lag, and to enjoy a stroll through the "Sunday Night Street Market" in the center of Old Town Chiang Mai. There are plenty of other things to do in Chiang Mai, and we will be more than happy to help you find what it is you are looking for.
