About this experience

After being picked up from your hotel, you'll embark on a drive to Mae Sai, located on the Thai-Burma trading border. Upon arrival, cross the Sai River into Tha Chilek, the town on the Burmese side, where you can observe the daily life of the locals in a nearby village.

Explore Tha Chilek on a rickshaw, visiting its charming Shan-style temple and meandering through the town's lanes and side streets. Your adventure will conclude at a local market, renowned for its unique products from Southern China, Burma, and Laos, where you can enjoy lunch at a local restaurant.

Next, continue your journey to the Golden Triangle, where the borders of Thailand, Burma, and Laos converge. Enjoy a scenic long-tailed boat trip around the Golden Triangle, taking in the breathtaking views of the mighty Mae Khong River as it meets the Ruak River, forming the iconic triangle with Laos, Burma, and Thailand.
