Northern Thailand is geographically characterised by multiple mountain ranges, which continue from the Shan Hills in bordering Myanmar and Laos, and the river valleys which cut through them. Though like most of Thailand, it has a tropical savanna climate, its relatively high altitude and latitude contribute to more pronounced seasonal temperature variation, with cooler winters than the other regions. Historically it is related to the Lanna Kingdom and its culture.

Regional classification of Northern Thailand

The northern region, as defined by the National Geographical Committee in 1978, consists of nine provinces. Geographically the division according to the six-region system includes most of the mountainous natural region of the Thai Highlands.

The four-region classification system adds an additional seven bringing the total up to sixteen provinces. In the four-region system Northern Thailand includes the upper-central-region Provinces of Kamphaeng Phet, Phetchabun, Phichit, Phitsanulok, Sukhothai and Uthai Thani; as well as western-region Tak Province.
