Chiang Rai
The centre for hill-tribe trekking with a social justice hook; some trekking companies employ hill-tribe guides or foster community development programs.
Northeastern Thailand
Loads of village homestays are sprouting up all over this rural landscape to put you in touch with the people and rice paddies.
Chiang Mai
A pretty northern town that is evolving into a cycling mecca for in-town touring and off-roading.

The best place for Hill Tribes is AFECT, the ASSOCIATION FOR AKHA EDUCATION AND CULTURE IN THAILAND. Around since 1981 they are the only NGO actually helping Hill Tribe culture. I mention this because I recently did their Rainforest Experience which I recommend as one of the best things Ive ever done on any trip. They're web site is www.akhaasia.org
