Although often overlooked by travel agencies, the region of Isan, which corresponds to northeast Thailand, presents spectacular landscapes and remarkably preserved historical sites.

A border region shared with Laos (to the north) and Cambodia (to the east), its history has been shaped by this proximity, allowing visitors to discover temples with architecture distinctly different from those found elsewhere in the country. In the southern part of the Isan region, you'll encounter the distinctive imprint of the Angkorian era through beautifully preserved Khmer temples such as Prasat Hin Phimai and Prasat Phnom Rung.

Furthermore, northeast Thailand has gained international recognition for its exceptional expertise in silk production. From Nong Khai to Udon Thani, passing through Loei and Buriram, you won't want to miss visiting a silk worm farm or learning the art of weaving this noble textile.

Subsistence agriculture forms the backbone of Isan's economy, making the region rich in significant natural heritage. Between trekking through rice paddies where buffalo wade and water buffalo bathe, and journeys through mountains cloaked in dense tropical jungle, the activities are varied and aligned with ecotourism values.
