Chiang Mai

Most people know Thailand as the land of islands and beaches. However, not many people are aware that amidst the waters of Andaman, there is a small secluded highland area in the mountainous north of Thailand. This beautiful valley has nothing to do with beaches but is still full of natural treasures. It is a lush green valley of beautiful rice and tea farms with densely forested mountains in the backdrop. The weather is amazingly pleasant and offers a cool respite from the hot and humid sea level and is the best place to enjoy a breath of fresh air. Although there are no modern attractions in Chiang Mei, there are adequate natural and cultural offerings that you can explore by booking a tour at Online Chiangmai.

Cameron Highland

Cameroon Highland is another highland destination in the Malaysian province of Perak. At 5000 meters in the mountain, Cameron Highland has a more village vibe to it. The highlands are dominated by cooler temperatures and beautiful tea valleys, strawberry farms, honey farms and butterfly farms. The valley was developed during the British colonial era and still has a very colonial vibe to it.
