    Exploring the Golden Triangle and Chiang Saen

    The Golden Triangle is a fascinating destination that beautifully intertwines history and culture. My visit included a boat ride on the Mekong River, where I marveled at the stunning landscapes and learned about the region's significance in the opium trade. Chiang Saen's ancient temples and ruins added a rich historical context to my journey. The views from the top of the hill overlooking the borders of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar were breathtaking. This experience was both educational and visually captivating—a highlight of my trip of Chiang Rai tour package.
