 The
far North of Thailand, especially the province of Chiang Mai,
is renowned for its scenic natural beauty - an area filled
with forested mountains, rivers, waterfalls and lush tropical
jungles. Accordingly, it is also an area with innumerable
opportunities for visitors to experience first hand a wide
range of exciting and enjoyable eco-tourism activities. So
much so that in 1999 Chiang Mai was aptly chosen as the official
venue for the annual conference of the PATA Eco and Adventure
Conference. The event focused on a variety of eco and adventure
activities in the region, as well as similar activities available
in other parts of Thailand. The most popular eco activities
in Chiang Mai include rafting - either on bamboo rafts or
inflatable dinghies, white water rafting, canoeing, kayaking,
trekking - either by foot or by elephant, mountain biking,
climbing, hiking and bird watching, to name but a few.
