نهر ميكونج – احد أكبر أنهار قارة آسيا والعالم – Mekong River

Mekong River

Thailand ends at Chiang Rai, the mountainous province that touches borders with Myanmar and Laos. This is soft adventure country, where you can enjoy trekking to various hilltribe villages, mountain biking and river rafting. Popular activities include rafting down the Kok River from Thaton into Chiang Rai town, stopping at tribal villages on the way, or boating along the mighty Mekong River from the Golden Triangle to the ancient towns of Chiang Saen, with its serene temples, and Chiang Khong, the gateway into Laos.

For superb mountain scenery, none can match the impact of Doi Mae Salong or the unusual Chinese town of Santikhiri perched on the peak, with opportunities for some strenuous treks to nearby hilltribe communities. Further north, Doi Tung offers great scenic views. However, it is the home of the late Princess Mother, whose Swiss chalet palace and beautiful gardens are open to the public, and the various hilltribe villages that attract visitors.
