Chiang Saen is an easy town to explore on foot but hiring a bicycle or motorcycle makes it easier, cooler and less tiring. Also, if there are several in the group, hiring a songtaew or tuk-tuk is recommended. The driver will take visitors to the various points of interest and wait until the party is ready to move on again. The practice is to negotiate the hire price before beginning the tour and pay when the program is finished.
