Half Day Golden Triangle Excursion

Depart from Chiang Rai City, head to The Golden Triangle territory located 80 Kilometres away from the city. The tour takes you to visit the Sop Ruak area, where the Ruak River converges with the mighty Mekong and the borders of Myanmar, Thailand, and Laos. This is the apex of the Thai portion of the notorious Golden Triangle, but nowadays this side of the border is less wild.

Continue to the ancient town of Chiang Saen, a small town that is one of the earliest Thai kingdoms, which features many people's ruins haphazardly scattered about the town. The Chiang Saen Buddha images with their fine oval faces are said to be the earliest expression of a purely Siamese sculpture style.
