Thailand Day 10b
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!
