These forgotten mountain paths in Northern Thailand are every trail runner's dream - SilverKris

"Perched about 1,100m above the surrounding valley, this Lahu village offers a striking mix of remote mountain life and warm hospitality: visitors stay in stilted thatched huts, take in spectacular sunrises and are welcomed with simple, home-cooked meals such as chicken curry, vegetable soup, crispy khai jiao (Thai-style omelette) and plenty of rice. The settlement serves as a regular stop on multi-day trail runs through the region, and locals now help maintain the routes and assist visiting runners, whom they view with pride and curiosity." - Ric Stockfis
