From the warm, scenic beaches of the south to the cooler mountainous countryside in the north, Thailand offers a myriad of choices for those seeking relaxation or more active adventures while vacationing in the tropics.

On Tuesday morning, a small group of us headed north on our scooters and motorcycles to Lake Phayao, located about 150 km northwest of Chiang Mai. The weather managed to stay incredible for the two days we were on the road. Sunny skies and moderate temperatures made for a great ride. It dipped down into the low 20s (Celsius) through the mountains which was a little chilly for us! Read More
