    Crossing the border from Mae Sai, Thailand to the Burmese town of Tachilek in Myanmar is very easy. Just be careful not to get suckered in by the touts.Those touts are waiting for you and there isn't much to see...but at least you'll get that Myanmar stamp for your passport!

    Don't expect to see the real Myanmar.....hey, you are getting off cheap and you can at least say you've been to Burma.

    Disneyland, Ho Chi Minh City Municiple Water Park, Tijuana,etc.

  • The trip on the boat is 500 and not 1500 baht, good luck it's a nice tour!

    When you reach the Golden Triangle, there will be many Thais trying to persuade you to take a ride on a motorised boat on the Mekong River. Tourist trap!! It costs B1500 for a short 15-minute spin.

    If you are in a group of 6 persons, the cost can be divided amongst all of you. I did not go for the speedboat ride because I was on a private tour.

    Take in the views from the hill.
