Off the Beaten Path (2015) : 9x6

Chiang Mai is the economic and cultural centre of northern Thailand, located in a mountainous region north of Bangkok. Founded in 1296 as the capital of the Lanna Kingdom, it sits along the Ping River, a major tributary of the Chao Phraya. The region is known for its unique cuisine, rich in herbs and spices, and its deep cultural traditions. This enchanting part of Thailand became a second home for Róbert from Slovakia. In 2016, he survived a near death experience here and was saved by a local woman, who later became his wife. Together, they share their life with us as we explore local farms, a coffee plantation, traditional silk making, and enjoy authentic Lanna home cooking.
