After exploring the Akha village drive to the Burmese border town of Mae Sai where you will see the bustling trade that goes on every day. This is a market town so there's a chance to shop for souvenirs - including jade and handicrafts. After lunch drive to see the Golden Triangle and Chiang Saen, on the banks of the Mekong River. See the point where the three countries of Burma, Laos and Thailand meet and the ancient temples of Chiang Saen. Afterwards in the late afternoon, drive to Thaton, where we spend the night. 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. Spend the night in a riverside resort in Thaton, with time in the evening to wander around and explore this charming , sleepy little town. (B,L)

Day 3  In the morning drive south from Thaton and stop at Chiang Dao Caves, a complex of ancient cave temples used as sites of worship for many centuries. Then continue on to visit a Palong hilltribe village, where we spend some time to explore the village. This tribe wears distinctive red clothing with bamboo fashioned hoops around the waist and recently migrated from Burma. Continue south from Chiang Dao towards Chiang Mai, upon reaching Chiang Mai we take you to visit Chiang Mai's most famous temple - Doi Suthep temple; situated on a hill overlooking the city. After touring around the temple and admiring the view from the top, we drive down and then transfer you to your hotel. (B,L)
