Looking forward to a memorable family getaway while you go on a Golden Triangle Tour? Here’s a brief guide to help you out at this well known destination where Laos, Myanmar and Thailand meet.
Temples
Thailand is home to over 400 temples, commonly known as “wats”. That figure comes as no surprise, as it is predominantly a Buddhist country. The Golden Triangle also has some historical temples such as Phra That Pu Khao and Wat Pa Sak which can be visited while staying at a hotel in Chiang Rai.
Elephant Experiences
The Golden Triangle provides some truly unique experiences that let you get up close with the country’s beloved gentle giants, elephants. Special elephant camps such as the one at Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort not only offer elephant trekking but also a chance to learn more about these majestic creatures and their mahouts who have a unique bond with them.
Bike Rides
If you like to experience the downtown area, the best option is to take a bike ride. There are enough places that you can enjoy such an activity and engage in some pedal powered exploration.
River Cruises
River cruises are the perfect gateway to explore the hill tribe cultures and various regions in Thailand. A Mekong cruise, for instance, gives you a chance to explore the Mekong River and the surrounding area with its many historical sites of interest and idyllic natural backdrops.
