The very wide “Mekong”-river is the border in north and east of Thailand to Laos and Myanmar. In our area the “Mekong” is the border to Laos.
The “Mekong”-River is one of the longest rivers of this world.
We have a 80km-drive from our resort to the Mekong. To direction north.
We will go with you with our enduro-bikes, or with our pick-up car (how you like). Always on very silent and little mountain-streets through a beautiful nature till the “Mekong”-River. And to “Chiang Khan”-city.
On the way to the “Mekong” it is possible of course, like everywhere here, to go some nice offroad-ways too. How you like. On the way we will pass many little thai-villages.
“Chiang Khan” is a nice little city direct on the Mekong-river. You will see there many tourists. Because “Chiang Khan” is wellknown as a nice tourist-place with small nice shopping-streets near the river. You will see here very old and original thai-houses. A lot of nice restaurants with nice terraces are direct at the river. You can enjoy your lunch with “Mekong- and Laos-view”.
From “Chiang Khan” we can do a boat-trip to “Kaeng Khut Khu”. When we reach “Kaeng Khut Khu” you will see a lot of “kaeng” ( means “rocks”) in the “Mekong”-river. There our boat will stop. You can go shopping on “Kaeng Khut Khu” on a lot of tourist-shops. Or drink a coffee - or have a snack or lunch in one of the open-air-restaurants at the river. And again you will have a nice view over the “Mekong” to Laos.
In the nice area of “Chiang Khan” are a lot of beautiful temples. And some beautiful located mountain-temples too.
After we leave “Chiang Khan”-area we will drive some kilometers beside the “Mekong” to direction west. We reach the place where our second border-river with name “Huang” streams into the “Mekong”-river. You will enjoy this nice scenery from a mountain-peak with a high golden Buddha-statue direct at this place.
After we have a lot of possibilitys to go back to our resort.
