Visit Northeastern Thailand (Isaan)

Northeastern Thailand (Isaan) presentation

Also known as Isan, Northeast Thailand is the most rural and poorest region of the country. Many say it is also the most authentic. In any case, it is the least touristy. Foreign tourists go there very rarely, except perhaps to Khao Yai National Park. Isan, however, has many assets to seduce the traveler: national parks and extraordinary natural sites, magnificent Khmer temples, superb countryside landscapes, some astonishing temples, incredible mountain corners and a local rural life in which one can likes to immerse himself... It is also the region through which we go to get by land to Cambodia, in the East, or Laos, in the North.
