This unforgetable tour takes you to the border with Myanmar and Laos, in the golden triangle region formerly famous for its opium trade. Along the route you'll stop at an orchid farm, several hill tribe villages, including the famous long neck tribe. The trip includes a boat trip to Chiang Rai which is in easy reach of the golden triangle area.
Visit 'Monkey Cave', and the Myanmar border at Mae Sai with the temple and market inside Myanmar. Mae sai is the most northerly point in Thailand. Along the river from Mae Sai is the point where the river divides and the three countries (Thailand, Myanmar and Laos) meet. From here long tailed boats take visitors across the river to a small trading outpost in Laos, from the boat you can also see the casino located just over the Myanmar border. The golden triangle area provides many sites and this private tour allows you to choose how long you spend at each place, and with hot springs and the history of opium museum situated within the golden triangle region, there is something to interest all your group.

The drive to the golden triangle took in some spectacular scenery and the Monkey Caves were much more exciting than Cheddar Gorge, and infinetely better than the Caves of Drach. A long necked tribe wasn't my cup of tea, however, I spent three of the most interesting hours of my life at the Opium museum. Very informative and I felt ashamed of the part the British have played in the history of opium.

Opium museum: I’m not usually very good at museums as I get bored reading all the displays, but I have to say that the Opium museum is incredible. It gives a fascinating history of the opium wars, it’s use etc, but also gives a great insight into the local impact of opium farming today and the government initiatives to encourage alternative employment. We stayed so long that we had to cut short the rest of our trip in the golden triangle as we ran out of time!
