The
tour travels north to the Thai-Myanmar frontier high
on Doi (mount) Tung before turning east to the "Golden
Triangle" at the meeting point of Laos, Myanmar
and Thailand on the River.
You may return via Chiang Rai and the Mae Lao valley for
a quicker route (4 days/3 nights), or you may go on
a longer more spectacular route (4WD recommended,
min. 5 days/4 nights) to complete the triangle by
following the Mekhong east along the Laotian border
to Doi Pha Tang, before turning south-west to return
via Phayao. Accommodation is also listed for staying
overnight in Chiang Mai, Chiang Saen and Chiang Rai.
Advance booking is advisable.
Though
our recommended and alternative routes/side trips
are based on careful research, your itinerary is as
flexible as you wish to make it. So relax, pack a
few tapes for our car stereos (the latest popular
music is locally available for less than US$ 3 a tape),
and drive off into the mysterious triangle of gold.
