We continue to the famous Golden Triangle, where the borders of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos meet. Here we will have lunch in a local restaurant overlooking the Mekong River. After lunch we will visit the small Opium House. Then it is time to board a local longtailboat to bring us to the small island of Don Sao. It’s a nice boat trip. There are some souvenir shops on the island but…..you are officially in Laos!


It is now time to drive back to Chiang Rai. Along the way we will stop at Wat Chedi Luang, one of the impressive ruins remaining of the old city of Chiang Saen. Here you will make merit in a short ceremony before we continue to Chiang Rai. We drop you off at the hotel.
