Chiang Saen - the heart of Golden Triangle

Chiang Saen is a small but very cozy and interesting city on the banks of the Mekong River. This is a city on the border, because on the other side of the Mekong there is already another state of Laos. Well, just 10 kilometers from Chiang Saen is the famous Golden Triangle, where a third country is added to Thailand and Laos - Myanmar. It is in this town that it is best to stop to study the Golden Triangle. #goldentriangle #urbanexplorer #thailand #awesomepic
