We went to Chiang Saen just like that, although it was possible with a visa-wound to combine. The truth is in Chiang Saen itself it can not be done – there are no border guards, but there is not too far Chiang Khong, where just similar rituals are performed. But since at that time we had a Thai visa made in Malaysia, our goal was just walk, and led.
At the end of the article is a small positive video about the whole trip to Chiang Saen.
Golden Triangle
Next to our hostel was suddenly rent a bike. Not long thinking, we stayed for one more day in this peaceful city, in order to make a bike ride and on the Golden Triangle go.
Just 7 km from the city of Chiang Saen along the Mekong River and the target reached. What a thrill to ride a bike! Since last summer not drove. And in the summer, just a little bit, they left for Turkey, then on campaigns went.

At the species point, first of all, we were met by a relatively large sitting Buddha, as well as elephants in different versions (here they are not such evil as in Chiang Saen). Is there still a thickish deity apparently associated with wealth, and which directly into the stomach can lower the coin. But not in the usual way, but on its length gutter, or throwing, yak basketball in the hanging basket. And, truth, it is much more effective, than usual donation box (donation box). Wishing to leave the coins, or run them along the gutter, more than enough, and we did not show up the exception.

Golden Triangle
In order to better see the three countries at the same time, we climbed the hill, on top of which was a pair of Buddhist temples, so far without of them. Strange, but I like the old ones most of all. Dilapidated Wat, and not these brand new and sparkling. Something there is in these modern temples is not present something, even though they beautiful.

Visually, Laos and Burma are little distinguishable from Thailand, nature is one and is the same. Only the standard of living is different, but to see it, you need to these countries to visit. In Golden Triangle there are a lot of people in national clothes, why I don’t know, and also half of the merchants, how do I it seemed from Laos and Burma, it is noticeable by their pristavuchest and writhing sour faces when you looked at the thing, but did not buy nothing.
Lake Chiang Saen Lake
7 km from the city of Chiang Saen, but in the other direction, is Chiang Saen Lake, in which we thought about swimming. But, besides watching the beautiful nature and the sunset, there is nothing to do there. All approaches to the lake are covered with green plants, and cleanliness water does not cause a special desire to swim. But what a silence! On there is a pair of Resort on the shore where you can stay if the price is right and do yoga and meditation all day.

Who has such a red Mercedes convertible?
Upset only one thing – trash on the shore. Well, why shit under your feet? When people start thinking further than “devoured, the rest is not my problem “?

In Chiang Saen with housing is not thick. If you are thinking to look into these places, better look in advance at hotels in Chiang Saena, for example, on RoomGuru and book. By the way, this is the best service in which you can compare prices immediately in all existing reservation systems. we stayed at Tankun Hostel, I told about it in an article about Chiang Saen city, but it seems like this guesthouse is no longer there.
We spent 2 days in Chiang Saen, and we managed to like him so much, that did not want to leave. But ahead of us was Wat Rong Khun (White Temple) near the city of Chiang Rai and hitchhiking to Chiang Mai, so we immediately set off on a colorful local bus with the emblem of the Mercedes.
