What our travellers think of their stay

The Golden Triangle is a mountainous region right in the north of Thailand, on the border with Laos and Myanmar.

My suggestion

If you like gambling you can cross the river by boat to go to the casino opposite. No need for a visa because casinos benefit from a special regime which treats them as being outside Laos.

The Golden Triangle is a mountainous region that straddles three countries: Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar.

My suggestion

Take the time to walk through amazing scenery in the mountains in the region, with or without a guide.

My suggestion

Rent a motorbike and go discover the mountain roads of the region; the surrounding scenery is magnificent!

Thailand: our articles for your holidays

Experience Thailand without riding elephants!

Elephant rides have become a major concern in many locations, but are still offered by a handful of so-called "sanctuaries" with the proposition to get close to the exotic and majestic animal. Elephant rides are offered on every street corner and Westerners have little knowledge about the cruel methods to succeed in training these enormous animals.

Bangkok, a continental megalopolis

Come and completely immerse yourself in the gigantic megalopolis which is Bangkok.

Khao Yai or the paradise of species

To set the scene for you, imagine 2,188 km² covered by 80% forest and populated with more than 800 animal species roaming completely free. Add streams, waterfalls and a mountain range amongst 2,000 plant species. Classify it all as a UNESCO world heritage site and you have the Khao Yai national park.
