This tour was amazing. To have a boat ride on the mighty Mekon in the Golden Triangle was an absolute privilege. It’s a long day but well worth it. The white temple has to be seen to be believed, it’s so impressive. It’s stunning! The food at the restaurant we stopped at was really tasty and they made put up several alternative dishes for me and my partner as we are vegans. The day is thoroughly thought out, there was also a stop at the hot springs, an opium museum, ruins from a 12th century temple and a cute coffee shop on the way back. The mini bus was extremely comfortable and ice cold water was given out after a couple of stops as was cold wet wipes.

A long day but worth it. Especially the Wat Pa Sat and Boat trip on MeKong River followed by the visit of the Opium Museum. Lunch was delicious and the coffee at Café Amazon lovely. Our guide Mr. Nong managed the time and itinerary ver well. His explanations at each site very informative and interesting. He also has a good sense of humor, which helps for a long day like this. Car was clean and today. Driver was polite and did an excellent job.

Excellent day ! Our guide Mrs Pookie was adorable and rich in anecdotes about the country as well as its habits and customs. Although the day is long (more than 6 hours of road in total), the number of activities and their quality are worth it especially as well accompanied. If you have a day to fill, don't hesitate!
