In addition to the to the Wednesday market, there are also some amazing hot springs that you can get to by renting a motorbike. This area also offers some great views so make sure you have your camera with you. Each Wednesday the market offers stalls selling spices, fabrics, and vintage things.

Pang Ung

This destination is often referred to as the Switzerland of Thailand and is called this because of the hill tribe village and small alpine lake. It is located in the mountains of Mae Hon Song province. The road there is windy and steep so not many tourists visit because of this. One of the best ways to enjoy this destination is to rent one of the tents around the lake so you can get up early to watch the sunrise.

Nan

This distinct province is surrounded by mountains and has been isolated for centuries from Thailand, which has given this province its own unique culture. It was integrated from a separate kingdom in to the Bangkok government in 1933. To be able to really experience all Nan has to offer you should spend a Saturday night in order to see the Saturday Night Market. In Nan, this is the only place where you will find the distinct herb makhwaen grown. It is similar to the Sichuan Pepper. The herb can be used to treat sore throats and coughs but the people here like to put it on pork and fried chicken. You cannot find this unique spicy flavor outside this province.

Lampang Elephant Conservation Center

You cannot call a trip to Northern Thailand complete without seeing the elephants and this is the best place to do so. It is the only one that is run by the Thai government and is a leader in medical care and research for elephants in Thailand.
