The experience

The White Temple opens the day: a working temple designed by a renowned Thai artist and filled with contemporary artwork alongside traditional Buddhist imagery. From there you move to the Blue Temple, a newer local temple with its own distinctive design, then to the Black House Museum, a collection of traditional structures filled with art and artifacts. After lunch at a riverside buffet restaurant, the tour heads to the Golden Triangle, where the Mekong and Ruak rivers meet and mark the borders of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar. You'll stand at the viewpoint where three countries converge.

The Hall of Opium Museum traces the history of opium in the region and its connection to the Golden Triangle's past. Later, you visit Choui Fong Tea Plantation, one of the largest tea estates in the area, where you taste Chinese Oolong tea while looking out over the planted hillsides. The final stop is Long Neck Karen Village, home to people who migrated from Myanmar. The visit offers a look at their daily life and traditions before the guide returns you to your hotel.

An English-speaking guide leads the entire day and handles all logistics. Hotel pickup is included, as are all entrance fees to the seven sites and the Thai buffet lunch. The tour accommodates children from age 2 and is wheelchair accessible throughout.
