Full Day Chiang Rai And Golden Triangle From Hotel Inside Chiang Mai City Only

Experience the tranquility and gorgeous scenery of Northern Thailand. Just as the day is dawning, we’ll depart for a well-paced day of sightseeing. The first stop will be the marvelous Mae Kajan Hot Springs where the naturally steaming water is hot enough to boil eggs. We’ll next visit three countries at once at the Golden Triangle. The countries of Thailand, Burma and Laos meet amid rolling hills. Their borders are defined by the mighty Mekong River’s convergence point with the Ruak River. Soak up the scenery on an optional boat ride along the Mekong River. You’ll also have the chance to learn more about the “golden”, or opium, behind the region’s name. The plant that is the source of many narcotics was once widely grown here. A museum dedicated to opium frankly examines its history, cultivation and damaging effects. We’ll travel to the Thailand border town of Mae Sai before crossing the bridge into Burma to visit Tachilek and its bustling markets. We’ll stop for lunch. Refreshed and refueled, we’ll hit the markets for souvenir shopping. Authentic Burmese handicrafts, such as sarongs, puppets and cheroots, are available for purchase. On our return to Chiang Mai, we’ll see how the native populations live with visits to hill tribe villages. We’ll get to know Akha tribal members, renowned for their wonderful sense of humor, and Yao tribal members, who create exquisite embroidered costumes.
