Good for lunch
by Willettsworld about Siam Corner
I came here a couple of times for lunch and had some good food such as sweet and sour pork and beef in oyster sauce. The portions are a good size and the owners quite a nice guy. They also serve many western dishes such as burgers, salads and sandwiches plus the normal Thai fayre.
Mae Sai - Nothernmost Point in Thailand
by yipsufen
The border town of Mae Sai is one of the official overland border checkpoints for travel between Thailand and Myanmar.
After passing rows of shophouses, the road ends at the Sai River Bridge. There stood the Immigration & Custom building to Myannmar border. For some decades now the town has prospered, trading all kinds of goods from Burmese jade, gem & precious stones (genuine & fake), goods from China, etc.
The border with Burma, closed except to locals for almost for more than 40 years, is now open to foreign visitors and day trips can be made to the Burmese border town of Tachilek. You need your passport plus a photocopy and USD10.
Walk past until the end row of shops, turn into the small lane and there are many stalls selling food stuff all at a cheaper price compared to the main street. It is as busy as the main street. Most of the products are still from China.
