the northeast of north Thailand - 12/28/07 04:53 PM

Dear all,

In Februari we land in Bangkok for our next cycle trip.
We were thinking about exploring the northeast of north Thailand, which is the region of Phrae, Nan, Phayao, Chiang Rai.
Has anyone already visited this region of Thailand ? How did you experience this region ? Comparable to the other regions in north Thailand ?
Or does anybody know where I can find information about it ? I was in fact looking for travel reports or things like that.

Another question : is there a malaria risk in the border area with Laos ?

We have been to Thailand before. Two years ago we cycled from Nong Khai to Chiang Mai, and also visited the north of Thailand (Golden Triangle - Chiang Khong region).

Thanks in advance,

Koen
