Kamthieng House, a traditional Lanna home in the grounds of
the Siam Society in Soi Asoke Bangkok, preserves the old
Lanna architecture and culture from northern Thailand. "A million rice fields" The Lanna (a million rice fields) Kingdom is an old 13th
century kingdom in northern Thailand, started by King
Mengrai in 1259 who established his capital in Chiang Mai in
1291. Captured by the Burmese in 1550s, retaken by King Taksin in
1774, Chiang Mai became a vassal of Thailand until the reign
of King Rama V when it came under direct rule. From this kingdom grew a society with a distinctive culture
and language along with its own traditions and customs, rituals...
During my visit to Thailand in November 2004, I traveled through the scenic Yunnanese village of Mae Salong , located in the mountains of the Golden Triangle . Mae Salong is a very unique and important place, not only because of its historical origins but also as the one of the most important tea growing regions in Thailand. Many of the villagers trace their ancestry to members of Chinese Nationalist party who fled China, resettling in nothern Thailand during the communist takeover in late 1940's. Strolling around the small town, you'll find the Chinese influence very strong with most of the shops and many of the homes decorated with Chinese ornamentation and with many of the...
1.Get on a river taxi and see the beauty of the Chao Praya River. A very different view of Bangkok I've got to say. If you're the adventurer, you can just jump on one at any of its terminals. Just be fast enough as the boats ( water taxis ) hardly stop. Otherwise, book a tour from one of the hotels by the river such as The Royal Orchid Sheraton, Shangri la or The Peninsula. 2.Rub elbows with the locals and tourists at the Weekend market, Chatuchak/Jatujak. It can get very hot in here but it's an excellent place to see the wares of Thailand. You might even find a good buy along the way. Thai ( and not so Thai ) goods available from antique furniture to fake jeans. ...
Phuket Island is famous for it beaches but it’s more than just beaches. Thailand’s largest island is a wonderland of wildlife and rainforests. I discovered a part of Phuket Island which is often overlooked by tourists, number of forest reserves and parks, along with exotic wildlife and beautiful waterfalls.
I spent a couple of days in Khao Phra Thaeo National Park located in the north of Phuket which is a triple canopy rainforest. It is the only remaining virgin rainforest on the island. It was a rare opportunity to watch a number of species of wild animal: langurs, barking deer, mouse deer, bears, wild boar, monkeys and gibbons. It was truly an amazing experience as the park conserves about one hundred species of birds which inhabit the forest vegetation, which consists of huge trees, creepers and climbers of every description. During rainy season hikes provide the best views of Ton Sai and Bang Pae waterfalls, with great sightings of resident wildlife such as flying foxes and slow Loris. The reserve has several forest trails for hiking and guides are easily available from the reserve office near Ton Sai waterfall.
Phuket is truly a tropical wonderland and offers something for just about everyone.

Strolling around the small town, you'll find the Chinese influence very strong with most of the shops and many of the homes decorated with Chinese ornamentation and with many of the inhabitants speaking Mandarin. Tea is king here ; the surrounding countryside is covered by a green carpet of tea, as far as the eye can see. Small tea tasting rooms are scattered throughout the small village of Mae Salong selling so many different grades of tea including green oolong, which seems to be the crème de la crème of the tea world. The largest tea plantations are located just outside of town and are well worth a visit. Ms. Ming, the gracious owner of Mae Salong Villa (the hotel where I stayed) explained to me about the origins of the tea industry and about the different grades of tea leaves sold commercially. It seems that the Mae Salong Chinese community has maintained very close ties with Taiwan, which remained a stronghold of the Chinese nationalist party after the Communists took over mainland China. The tea industry got a kick-start when some choice tea plants were carried over from Taiwan and planted in the hills of Mae Salong. Ming's husband owns one the major tea plantations in the area but as Ms. Ming explained to me, there is more money to be made in the...
