Thailand is an exotic country half way around the world in Southeast Asia. The magnificent gold covered temples and palaces are beyond imagination, in stark contrast to the villages of the hill tribe people in the northern portion of the country. Come along through crowded, smoggy, traffic clogged but fantastic Bangkok, then journey north to visit the hill country people living near Chiang Rai. In Chiang Mai…ride elephants through jungle and rivers.
