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..

Avoid - Terrible , tacky and upsetting

This was a terrible tour. Basically this tour follows all the hoards of tourist buses and goes to very touristy and tacky places Whilst the guide was good the actual tour itinerary was dreadful. The village hill tribe visit was just dreadful. It was sold as a visit into hill tribes but in fact it was a fake sort of set up for tourists with Karen longneck tribe in their huts in the outskirts of a town all set up just for tourists - whilst they may live there it was only as a front for tourists . We specifically did not want to see the Karen tribe and the itinerary mentioned different tribes . The Karen village was where women are paraded around like animals with very heavy and uncomfortable rings around their neck which was actually upsetting to see them. Out of the 12/13 hour trip we only had about 2 - 3 hours outside of the taxi. Even lunch we went to a tourist style buffet where they were wheeling in hoards of tourists - nothing authentic . Also when we got in the taxi we were told the golden triangle part wasn’t going ahead as planned as Laos side was closed . At the golden triangle we went round a very tacky pool touristy town for 10 mins to see the golden Buddha and boat tour for 20 mins and that was it after all that driving . The guide was nice and with another type of tour I am sure he would have been excellent and it is no disrespect to him and he tried to make the best of the day but I would advise others to definitely avoid. A waste of a day and very expensive for basically doing the same tour as the big tourist bus just in your own car..

Be ready for really long day and be...

Be ready for really long day and be ready to sit in the car as Golden Triangle is quite far from Chiang Mai. But worth it. You will see really beautiful countryside of Northern Thailand, northern tribes and simple village life and Golden Triangle and its changes under strong China influence. I was really happy about this trip but also tired in the end..
