We start our journey in Chiang Mai, also called as the capital of the North.

Chiang Mai city is about 761 km by railroad and approximately 700 km by car road to the north of Bangkok. With an area of 20,107.1 square kilometers, the province is Thailand's second largest province and the capital of the northern region. It is administratively divided into 22 districts. People can travel between Bangkok and Chiang Mai by air flight, night bus or night train. A large part (about 69%) of Chiang Mai is covered by mountains and hills with forests. Minority ethnic hill tribe villages dotted many parts of the hills and thus it is famous for trekking and tribal village homestay tourism. Waterfalls, white water rafting by inflatable rubber boat and bamboo rafts, elephant back ride are also popular out of the city experience for both local and foreign visitors. However, with the increase in such tourists activities, competition, almost non-existence of proper participation and management by the local tribal people, and other factors there have been reports of decreases in quality of tourist experience and authenticity as well as cultural and environmental degradation. Being said that, it is still possible to go for a small group simple nature walk and village homestay which is cultural, environmentally and economically sustainable, in many hill places of the province. Chiang Mai is also home to the country highest peak: Inthanon mountain, which stands 2,575 meters (8,448 feet) above sea level. Out of more than 1.5 millions people, nearly 200,000 live in Chiang Mai city areas. The province is divided into 21 districts and 2 sub-districts. 80% of the people in Chiang Mai are locals by birth, and speak a dialect that is a slight variation of the central Thai language. The remaining 20% is made up of Thai nationals and foreigners who have moved to Chiang Mai to work, study, or retire.

After you find this cache, you can start your journey in the North and will enjoy caching in the city of Chiang Mai and go more North to find other nice places..
