Golden Triangle

Back in Thailand!! and it was an easy boarder crossing without any difficulties (the first one). Only the exit stamp from Laos is needed in the passport, than we took a boat to cross over the Mekong and in Thailand we got another stamp.

View from Laos to Thailand at the boarder crossing.

On the first day we went to the Golden Trinangle where the 3 boarders of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar (ex Burma) come together. There isn't a lot to see, a big Buddha and elephant statue, some signs indicating the 3 countries and of course a lot of souvenir shops for the tourists (luckily it was a quite day, very few people, but very, very hot).

Afterwards we went to Chiang Rai, the biggest town in the north of Thailand. There isn't a lot to see, some temples as everywhere and a golden clock tower. Fredi enjoyed an elephant ride, but more he wasn't able to do, the heat makes everybody tired.
