Along the Mekong River there is a row of very casual eateries... none exactly sterile clean - but clean enough.. and with the addded advantage that you see the area where they are cooking - and what they are cooking. I belive that one is as good as the other: food's simple but good, and hasn't been left around waiting for you. a simple and delicious fried rice with pork - and a soft drink, for only 40 baht
It seems you can't drive more than a few km in the North without seeing a " we just have to stop and see spot" and so it on our list is Chiang Saen .Chiang Saen sits on the banks of the Mae Khong River . It is a 12th century walled city .You can easily make out the remains of most of the city's walls and moat, as well as several temples and defences.
There are two two chedis remaining. Wat Pa Sak ,( teak temple) which is outside the walled city is most memorable for the ancient teak trees that surround it. The temple's name alludes to the hundreds of teak trees planted on the order of Saen Phu. Admission is 30 Baht (0.80 USD) for westerners.
It is an embarkment point for river trips to Laos , Burma and China.

A: "It is fiffteen years since I took those buses, but still my answer is hopefully more useful than "bagusboy"'s. I don't recall them to go quite as often as every 30..."
