I think I'm going to stop experimenting with multipicture posts. My first attempt turned the text orange in the first Chiang Rai post. And I see that the last Chiang Mai post managed to fit all three pictures in by squeezing my sentences into two letter lines between pics, not really the aesthetic I was going for. We did some sightseeing around the Golden Triangle. Actually, our last trip before we left Thailand to move to Sydney was also to the Golden Triangle, staying at a great new resort, so I'll be brief here since the pics from the latest trip are much better. This is Mae Sai, a border town connected by bridge to the Burmese town of Tachilek, probably misspelled. Both towns are hectic, messy affairs dominated by the business of smuggling Thai and other imported goods into Burma. This is one of the few border crossings, crossing the Mekhong River. It's frequently closed due to border hostilities, but when it's open, it's very bustling.
