Thailand Day
|
Golden Triangle area (corner where Burma, Thailand and Laos meet) - Mae Sai Thailand, northern border town to Tachilek, Myanmar
Efficient use of a Tuk-tuk! (Bottles of water)
|
It had rained heavily the night before, so the river was muddy. This river runs right along the border of Myanmar and Thailand. SEE LARGER VERSION |
Tachilek and Mae Sai was the border crossing for the
Opium Trade. There is an Opium Museum in Mae Sai (photos to come).
|
I believe this was some opium foodstuff, held up by
our tour guide.
|
About 10 tuk-tuks were hired to take our group up
thru the town, so here we go!
