Day Trippin'
Took a day with a friend to the "Golden Triangle." What a long day - but worth it just to say I've been to the Golden Triangle.
We visited an all-white temple. It was pretty freaky looking: white dragons coming out of every angle of the building, Buddha was all white and the brightness blinded you with the bright sun.
We took a boat over to
Laos and hung out for about 30-minutes.
And we also crossed over into Burma for a few minutes.
(Thus the reason they call it the Golden Triangle -- three countries meeting at one section of the Mae Kong River.)
We also had a chance to visit a few of the Hill Tribe villages. Of course, it was the "tourist" way of doing things -- so they were just trying to sell us stuff.
It wasn't my normal way of hanging out in the village. I'd like to go back and just hang out and live with them for a week or so.It was nice to get outside of Chiang Mai - even if it was only for one day.
