Covering an area of roughly 93,691 sq km, Northern Thailand is a mountainous area covered with thick forests, river valleys and upland areas. Doi Inthanon, at 2,565 metres, is Thailand's highest mountain. There are 17 provinces and the most northerly ones share a border with either Myanmar or Laos. Two of the rivers unite in the southern part of the area to form the Chao Phraya River. The northernmost and westernmost point is at the Myanmar border in Chiang Rai and again at the Myanmar border at Mae Hong Son.
