Hotels in Northern Thailand, Thailand

Northern Thailand is a mountainous region in the country's north, famous for its 13th-century Lanna temples and ethical elephant sanctuaries. The climate has three seasons: cool and dry from November to February (60-80°F / 15-27°C) when you can trek through Doi Inthanon National Park and visit hill tribe villages, and hot rainy months from June to October (75-90°F / 24-32°C) perfect for exploring Chiang Mai's night bazaars and taking Thai cooking classes. For budget travelers, the rainy season offers lower prices on guesthouses near the Old City.
