This will be an eye-opening adventure for me, to head for the road less taken, and prove that the northern region too is an enchanting destination for a serene getaway. Since Chiang Mai is not too far from Chiang Rai (and there is no flight), the organiser has planned a road trip. From up here, I can spot the busy Chiang Mai airport with planes landing and taking off the runway. Reaching Koh Klang, the first thing I see is a row of wooden stilted homes and restaurants along Krabi river. Here in Koh Klang, harvest season starts in January but we are lucky that we come during the planting season.
