As part of the organizing committee for IPPA22, SEAMEO SPAFA has organized a special four-day post-conference excursion which will take participants on an overland journey from Chiang Mai to Bangkok. Along the way, participants will visit various rock art and cultural sites in Lampang, Phetchabun and Saraburi provinces. These sites are much less on the popular tourist trail, but are nevertheless important in terms of cultural heritage.
Start: Chiang Mai, 13 November 2022
End: Bangkok, 16 November 2022
A fee of THB 14,000/person* (approx. USD$390) to cover the costs of transport, board and ancillary charges. *Early bird rate: THB 12,000 if booked before 30 September 2022*
