This is a guidebook to 20 walks on Doi Sutep that have been researched and walked over a period of several years. The author uses ancient paths, newer tracks and hard topped roads to take the walker through a variety of landscapes from virgin evergreen forest to pine forest to tribal villages and cultivated land to Thai temples across streams and past water-falls.
The text includes detailed maps and information on how to get to the walk site and the diffi culty level of the walk. Introductory information deals with fi tness, health, climate, culture and so on. Each walk can be completed within one day and can be accessed quickly and easily from the tourist centre of Northern Thailand, Chiang Mai.
In all the many visits made during the research for this book only three other recreational walkers were encountered. Many of the commercial trekking tours to “new unspoilt areas” in Northern Thailand feature crowds of young backpackers meeting up in ‘remote’ places. In contrast, what is offered here is a set of plans for the self-reliant walker to get quietly and easily into nature without the fuss and without the crowd. Recreational walking close to nature in the great outdoors becomes more popular in Europe and the Americas and Asia, providing as it does the opportunity for people to exercise gently in a beautiful environment.
