ROMANTIC LUANG PRABANG & SUKHOTHAI 2019

Not many travelers know about the romantic candlelight festival in Luang Prabang, which takes place
every year by the end of Buddhist Lent. It’s similar to our “Loy Krathong’ festival during full moon night in
Sukhothai. Next year, it will happen on Monday the 14th of October. For this special event, we are planning for an overland tour from Sukhothai via Nan to Luang Prabang for 7 days. It will be a prefect trip for a romantic honeymoon, photography or just a rich culture tour as it combines two world famous cultural heritages and a picturesque cruise on the Mekong River.

For the real Loy Krathong Festival at Sukhothai, the official date of 2019 is the 13th November. According to the schedule of 2018, light and sound event has been organized not only on the official date, but also
a few days before and after. If you are planning for a special trip, we recommend you to start to reserve
the space soonest.

HIKING & WALKING IN THAILAND

Hiking in Thailand become more and more popular among foreign visitors, especially in some areas with cool climate like the north and the northeast during the months of November to February. Many tourists pay the expensive entry fees to visit just a waterfall in a national park instead of taking time to walk a nature trail to explore the flora and fauna or enjoy a panoramic view of the beautiful mountain ranges. There are various trails at different levels for travelers to choose according to their physical conditions.

Some of recommended walking destinations for 2019 are

• Phuluang Wildlife Sanctuary and Phurua NP, Loei
• Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park, Phisanuloke
• Doi Inthanon National Park, Chiang Mai
• Phu Lanka, Payao
• Doi Phahompok, Chiang Mai
