| The
charm of Uthai Thani Province has inspired us to
share our personal experiences with travellers who
are interested in exploring other amazing perspectives
of Thailand. |
| |
| Thai
Country Trails is a newly established language travel
organization, probably the only company in Thailand
that offers language and cultural training in combination
with travel services. The company was founded by
a highly experienced teacher, a first-class licensed
guide and a veteran travel insurance assistance
expert. Our aims are to facilitate foreigners living
in Thailand by means of language and cultural education,
and at the same time, to develop ecotourism and
community based tourism, so that travellers can
experience, learn and appreciate the valuable provincial
assets. Our programs are carefully designed in order
to bring mutual benefits to the visitors as well
as to the local community. |
| |
| Your
exposure to this rich cultural and natural environment
can be facilitated by our professional and warm
assistance. We offer a wide range of services, such
as providing comfortable accommodation, safe transport,
accompanying licensed guide and extraordinary program
tours. If you prefer to drive yourself to Uthai
Thani, we can provide tailor-made self-drive programs
to meet your needs, with briefings on the various
destinations before setting out to explore them. |

Uthai Thani, one of the truly unseen
Provinces of Thailand, is the "Southernmost
Province of the Northern Provinces", covers
an area of 6.730 square kilometres, is located a
mere 250 km North of the Capital Bangkok. With most
of the province consisting of forests and mountains,
it is abundant in natural resources and wildlife.
As such, it is a truly unspoilt, and as yet undiscovered,
natural tourism destination.

treasures |
| |
| In the Western part of the province,
Huay Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary merges with the
Thung Yai Naresuan Sanctuary to create the largest
protected animal sanctuary in Southeast Asia. 'Huay
Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary' was proclaimed a
UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site on 13 December
1991. The reserve has jungles, forests, plains,
many streams, and most importantly, a number of
rare and endangered animals. |
| |
| Culture |
| |
| Apart from the natural attractions,
visitors to Uthai Thani can see the different lifestyles
of local people, such as the life of raft residents
on Sakae Krang River, a waterway that has been the
lifeline for the province and its people since ancient
times. In 1906, King Rama V, while visiting the
Northern provinces, stayed in Sakae Krang village,
and two rafts were built to welcome him. The connection
between Uthai Thani and the current Chakri Dynasty
dates back to the father of King Rama I, founder
of the dynasty, who was born in Uthai Thani. |
