Doi Tung Hill Tribes and Mae Sai Market Tour from Chiang Rai

Depart your hotel to visit the Doi Tung region, 2000 meters/6500 feet above sea-level. The Doi Tung Development Project was established to eradicate the cultivation of opium and encourage farmers to use sustainable agricultural practices. Visit Mae Fah Luang Gardens and Doi Tung Temple. Continue to the Royal Handicraft Center to discover mulberry paper making, pottery, and weaving. Lunch at a local restaurant. Afterwards drive to Mae Sai, visit to the market at the Burmese Border (if time and situation allow, cross the border to Tachilek, fee to be paid on spot in supplement). Drive on to the Golden Triangle area, where the borders of Thailand, Burma and Laos meet. Then reach Chiang Saen on the steep banks of Mae Khong River where you will see some magnificent ancient ruins and temples (long-tailed boat trip possible in supplement).
