Awesome insights my friend, about the north of Thailand. Perhaps I should visit there next time and not only the beautiful tourist beaches and islands.
Do you know of the ancient history of Thailand that seems to be connected to the ancient Hindu culture, better known as the Vedic culture? I saw Hindu sculptures depicting the Vedic stories when I passed through Bangkok airport a few years ago on my first trip.
Oh! You should visit Chiengmai and Chiengrai one day, just to see the old decorative temples and a hike on the mountains.
Some provinces in Thailand still have perfect Hindu sandstone buildings and temples. People would visit some old temples to see the sunrise through all the doors on summer solstice.
Wow this is awesome to hear, thank you for the info and advice. I am inspired to put these northern regions on my travel list. I'll search out the old Hindu temples.
You would like this place.
