Dear SHC members,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !
I am planning to retire in 2014, and with 2 good friends, we are planning to explore the Golden Triangle of Thailand. All of us are first-timers ? Would really appreciate if any one can provide some pointers on :-
1. The do’s and don’ts when visiting the Golden Triangle;
2. The things to do and must-see places in Chiangmai, Chiangrai and the border town of Myanmar;
3. Can we stay over night in Myanmar? And if yes, any recommended lodging;
4. How can we travel overland from Chiangmai or Chiangrai, cross border into Laos and travel up north to Kunming Yunnan ? Any suggested mode of travel ? by bus, by train, by boat up Mekong river, etc.
We are planning to spend 2~3 weeks in March 2014 to explore the Golden Triangle.
I truly appreciate and thank all of you in advance for your suggestions !
BTW, I am also interested in Terrance’s idea of retiring in Thailand. Thank you !
Warm Regards,
Ronnie Chow.
