Day 9

The third day in Chiang Mai.  I attended another one day tour.  It started at 8:00 AM and finished 21:20 PM because it was the tour to the far away place, Golden Triangle, where the three countries (Myanmar, Thailand, Laos) meet.  There were about 12 participants.  They were from the USA, Germany, Ireland, Denmark, Oman, and 2 from Japan.  That is there is another Japanese besides me.  The driver was happened to be the same person as yesterday.
First we visited Hot Spring in Chiang Rai.  There were two places where the hot springs were spurting. Unlike the one in Krabi, I could not bathe.
Second we visited the white temple called Wat Rong Khun.  It was very beautiful.  Everything was white.  There were white carps too.
Third we visited the village where I could see long neck tribe and others.  Women start wearing the rings around their neck at the age of 5 and they add the ring every year.  There was a woman wearing 30 rings.
Fourth we visited Mae Sae, the northern most of Thailand.
Fifth we visited the border of Thailand and Myanmar.  If you pay for 500 bahts, you could pass to Myanmar, but we only had 30 minutes or so, therefore I did not go.
Sixth we went to Golden Triangle.  We took the boat and visited Donesao Island in Lao. It is a special economic zone.
Seventh we visited the temple called Wat Chedi Liuang.
I made 2 friends and enjoyed this trip very much.
