"preserving humanity, saving lives"   

"Paradise Found" In our timeless paradise, we have an old saying, "Whoever said Shangrai-La is in the Himalayas, must have made a wrong turn at Albuquerque!" This truly mystical realm is actually several horizons yon, in the "low malayas." The Mekong River divides the Thai province Chiang Rai (pronounced: shangrai), from Laos. (In Laos, the "s" is actually silent.) Also, happily, .LA is the official domain designation for Laos. ...One might think this similarity in place names is just a coincidence ...unless, of course, you've ever been there!

Your first indication is the people. Perhaps the most humble and friendly on Earth. Then there are the unsurpassed tropical beauty of the countryside, and the dramatic, yet user-friendly climate and weather patterns. Culture here goes back as far as culture itself. There are, of course, ancient monastaries all over the place. Yes, the ChiangRai-Lao valley captures ones soul like no other. It remains one of the most remote, intact, and enchanting places on the planet. And the source of some of the most beautiful, well-crafted, and affordable goods and artifacts, now available anywhere! So which is the correct spelling? In Hilton's "Lost Horizon," it is spelled without the second "a". But, then again, in his book, it's a mythical place. Our Shangrai-La is real and right at your fingertips! Even if you never make it over for a visit, you'll always be able to glean a taste of it here. And, of course, we'll gladly ship a bundle of paradise to you too, if you like! So kick back, relax, enjoy our site, intended for your shopping, and browsing, pleasure! At the very least, now you know where it's at! http://Shangrai.La
