About this trip

Requires a minimum of 2 people to confirm this experience

Journey to the northernmost tip of Thailand for a day of natural beauty and historical intrigue. Your adventure begins at the stunning Mae Fah Luang Garden, a high-altitude botanical paradise nestled near the Burmese border. Due to the cooler mountain climate, you’ll wander through vibrant beds of roses and dahlias rarely seen elsewhere in Thailand, complemented by artistic fountains and a playful evergreen maze.

After a traditional Thai lunch atop the scenic Doi Tung, delve into the region’s complex past at the Hall of Opium. This world-class museum offers a gripping look at the history and impact of the opium trade on the Golden Triangle. The day culminates at the iconic Golden Triangle Viewpoint, where you can stand at the confluence of the Mekong and Ruak Rivers, looking out across the borders of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar. It is a powerful, panoramic conclusion to a day of mountain discovery.
