The ideal centre
This unique city is the ideal base for touring the Golden Triange of Northern Thailand, Myanmar and Laos. Car hire is very inexpensive if you shop around, as is motorcycle hire. I found a girl from the Triangle who acted as a guide and translator, with the result that I found many little out-of-the-way spots, many of which were utterly enchanting. My friend Pin, the food and the general easygoing aspect of the place.
