Northern Thailand begins where the flat rice-growing countryside to the mountains that border Myanmar and Laos. It's a vast region of Thailand. Northern Thailand's beautiful, rugged geography is the region's great temptation. Hidden among the forested mountains are Thailand's most iconic waterfalls and caves, as well as whitewater rapids and jungle trails. The area is a playground for outdoor pursuits – hiking, rafting, kayaking and caving opportunities abound.
The north has its own language ("Muang"), cuisine, and traditional beliefs and rituals and a sturdy architectural style that has come to be known as Lanna .
All these features contrast strikingly with the distinguishing features of the rest of Thailand, where the strict practices of Buddhism have a greater hold on the people and where western influences have made greater inroads.
