The Golden Triangle

Peter was a wonderful thoughtful guide. It was wonderful to see the white temple, and I enjoyed the village where the Myanmar people were living which was really interesting. I managed to buy some lovely keep sakes which the women of the village were making. We had an interesting moment getting into the Long boat on the Mekong river due to my mobility issues and restricted range of motion. That was quite something and I'm sure will entertain somebody in Laos since the locals were filming me on the return. Not much happening on the Laos side abit edgy and felt like authorities were keeping an eye on us. There was a last stop to a town on the Myramar border it was a long drive adding a few hours onto the trip and I don't think this stop was very beneficial. I wouldn't bother with that stop on this trip as it makes the day much longer than necessary all in all we were out 15 hrs which is a very long day. I'd say 8 to 10 is better. Peter and the driver though looked after us well completing comfort breaks and manged to find disable toilets on route. We very much enjoyed it and got some great pics..
