Golden Triangle
Loop
In the first day
we visit 500
years old Shan Chedi, situated right on
Burmese border. Then we take a steep unpaved
road trough Chiang
Dao National park, along Burmese
border. Although this part of the trip could be
a bit bumpy, we will get a chance to enjoy
fantastic views and observe authentic hilltribe
villages.
Then we visit
Agricultural
Project Angkang and arrive to Fang, where
we stop for the night. It is a small city but
you will experience "back to civilization" feeling when we
finally get there.
Next day we
visit charming Princess
Mother Hall and arrive to Mae Sai, a
border city. Here you have a chance to cross the
border and visit Burmese city Thachilek (no visa required
for one day stay in Burma). We spend the
night back in Thailand in Mae Sai.
On the third
day we visit the famous Golden
Triangle, the point where borders of Thailand,
Laos and Burma meet. Here we take a boat to make
a small water trip along the great Mekong
River.
We visit Laos during this trip (since we visit
only a border area, you will not need a visa for
Laos). We also visit the famous Opium
Museum
that day, and then take a long ride along
Laotian border. We sleep at a remote resort near
Pu Chi Fa.
On the last
day of the trip we arrive at Pu
Chi Fa, an amazing rock hanging above Laos.
It is especially impressive in the morning, when
it is still foggy on the Laotian side.
We go straight
to Chiang Mai from here.
What to bring:
you will need your passport for Burma trip.
What you do not
need: visa to Laos and Burma. We will
visit only border areas where visa is not required.
