If you’re looking to reconnect with nature and conquer rugged terrain, head to Thailand’s mountainous north for some of the best hiking the country has to offer. Scenic Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai boast great locations for trekking up towering mountains and down into deep valleys. Here, you can also discover lush rainforests and jungles overflowing with fascinating plant and animal life, as well as ethical elephant sanctuaries. Along the way, meet members of nearby hilltribe communities, see their vibrant multicolored textiles, and even try a local homestay. For an added adventure in Chiang Rai, make your way to the legendary Golden Triangle -- the meeting place of the Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar borders.

Krabi, Thailand is another excellent hiking destination. This island, with its stunning limestone karsts blanketed in thick greenery, is often compared to Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay. You’ll also discover lush mangrove forests, cascading waterfalls, secret caverns, and plenty of national parks equipped with well-marked hiking trails.
