Golden Triangle Tour - Chiang Rai by
River - 2 day / 1 night tour
This tour includes Chiang Rai,
Chiang Saen, River Trip, Mae Sai and 2 nights
accommodation in Thaton & Chiang Rai.
Day 1
Drive north of Chiang Mai, first
stopping at the hotsprings at Mae Kachan, then continue on to Chiang Rai,
and continue further north to visit the Burmese border town of Mae Sai. This
town is on the border of Thailand and Burma and is the centre for cross
border trade in the area. There are markets on both sides of the border.
Spend some time exploring the market town. Then we drive a bit further to
visit the Golden Triangle, where the three countries of Burma, Thailand and
Laos meet on the Mekong River.
Take a longtail boat down the Mekong River (approx. 1hr) to Chiang Saen and
across to a Lao island. We explore the town of Chiang Saen, with it's
ancient temples. We then drive back to Chiang Rai and check into our hotel.
(L) Accommodation = Wiang Inn Hotel (Upgrades for this night available)
Day 2
In the morning drive west towards Thaton,
which gives you views across the hills of upper
Northern Thailand and visit Thaton. On the way visit the Padong 'long neck'
tribe who wear brass rings around the neck making them look extra long
especially the older women who have worn the rings for many years.
Then continue on to the Chiang Dao area where we leave our transport and
hike into the hills for an overnight stay with the Palong tribe. Hiking is
approx 3hrs and is a moderate hike suitable for anyone that is reasonably
fit. Accommodation in the village is basic, so be prepared for camping style
accommodation and basic washing and toilet facilities. Your guide will prepare dinner for you and we spend
the night in the village, seeing some of the traditional Palong dancing.
