When in Northern Thailand, don&rsquo;t miss the opportunity to visit the Golden Triangle, the famed point where Thailand, Laos and Myanmar (Burma) meet. How often can you say you&rsquo;ve looked out over three countries from a single viewpoint?

&ldquo;Iconic area in Northern Thailand!&rdquo; &mdash;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g317131-d456346-r654322146-Golden_Triangle-Chiang_Saen_Chiang_Rai_Province.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Carla, Germany</a>

We&rsquo;ll pick you up early from your Chiang Mai accommodation and journey towards the border, stopping en route at Mae Khajan Hot Spring. Dip your toes in&nbsp;this natural mineral pool before we continue to Chiang Rai&rsquo;s iconic White Temple.

Despite its name, the White Temple or Wat Rong Khun is not actually a temple but a Thai artist&rsquo;s representation of one. The dreamy white spires and peaceful water pools are a sight to behold &ndash; as are the contemporary images of Michael Jackson and the Minions inside! It&rsquo;s a weird and wonderful must-see when in Northern Thailand.

&ldquo;Such a wild experience. Truly one of a kind temple built (and continuing to be built) by an incredible artist. Don&rsquo;t miss it while in Chiang Rai.&rdquo; &mdash; <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.co.nz/ShowUserReviews-g297920-d1368436-r720921002-Wat_Rong_Khun-Chiang_Rai_Chiang_Rai_Province.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Trubin, Czech Republic</a>

After stopping for lunch in Chiang Rai, we&rsquo;ll continue to&nbsp;the Golden Triangle where you&rsquo;ll snap photos and admire views out over the three countries from Wat PhraThat PuKhao Temple. At this point, you can choose to optionally upgrade and cruise the Khong River, stopping at a local Laos market. Here you can pick up souvenirs and snacks before we return to Chiang Mai after a busy but rewarding day out.&nbsp;
