All travelers dream of finding a territory as yet undiscovered by other tourists, where the local people still offer a warm and genuine welcome to new arrivals and traditional culture remains intact, unspoiled by the commercial pressures of mass tourism. Uthai Thani, the first comprehensive travel guide Thailand's Uthai Thani province, provides insight into just where to discover such a 'hidden gem'. Approximately 220 km from Bangkok-just a few hours' drive-traditional Thai culture and unspoiled nature still await the visitor. The author and her family provide a richly personal account of their very own discovery of this haven, with its myriad villages, farmer's markets and Buddhist monasteries. Along the way, they share information on secluded guest houses, delicious food, arts and crafts and other bargains. Includes many beautiful illustrations, helpful maps and GPS coordinates.
