For the in depth traveller, the great delight in visiting Thailand will be in exploring the heartland and highlands.

Travelling north from Bangkok, you can visit the ruins of Ayutthaya and Sukothai, former capitals of ancient kingdoms.

Then in the Northern Highlands, you will experience Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai - both steeped in culture and traditions. Expand your horizons, take your journey further and experience traditions and culture not so prevalent near the coastal and commercial areas.
