Lampang is another interesting location in Thailand. This city is home to the wooden palace called Baan Sao Nak (over one century old) and this is the place where Wat Chedi Sao is located. This temple is known outside the borders of Thailand because the priests that live there are known for production of various natural remedies that can cure many diseases and medical conditions.

The north of Thailand is considered to be the most beautiful part of Thailand by many travelers. Chiang Rai is the biggest city in the north and it is often used as a base to explore the various landscapes, high mountains and fertile fields around it. Depending on the altitude, the natural vegetation consists of chains of bamboo forest, conifers, and tropical and mountain forest. This grandiose region, often covered in mist, is inhabited by many indigenous people.
