The main city in North Thailand is Chiang Mai, Thailand's second biggest city. North Thailand is studded with mountains and borders Burma, Laos and Cambodia. The Golden Triangle, a region famous for its illegal opium production, is also situated up here. If you go to the mountains you can have some great views, but it can also be rather chilly up there at night. One destination you should not forget is Paaj (ปาย) which is exactly in the mountains. It is a great hang-out place for backpackers and artists. The area has great views and some interesting natural and cultural sites. Thais also like to come here and find it exiting that farangs like the place.
