Day 3: Management Team Trip 2015

May 1, 2015

After staying two days at Pornping Tower hotel in Chiang Mai, we continue to trip to Chiang Rai. We got in a tour bus in the early morning when we finished breakfast at 7:30am. The tour guide told the about history of Chieang Rai particularly the Golden Triangle area. It is one of Asia's two main opium-producing areas. It is an area of around 367,000 square miles (950,000 square kilometers tat and there are three countries overlaps the mountains of three countries of South East Asia: Myanmar, Loas, and Thailand. The Golden Triangle designates the confluence of the Ruak River and the Mekong River, since the term has been appropriated by the Thai tourist industry to describe e nearby border tripoint (three countries) of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar.

On way from Chiang Rai, the bus stopped a few minutes at the boiled water area called ................ . The hot water is able to boil eggs. We, BELTEI Management Team, took a short time to take photo. I also helped Chinese tourists to take photos for them when I saw a girl standing to wait for someone to take photo for her. Then the bus was moving to Chiang Rai. The bus was moving around 3 hours, we arrived Thailand-White Temple called Wat Rong Khun in Chiang Rai province. It is owed by Chalermchai kosipipat, who designed, constructed, and opened it to visitors in 1997. It is opened all the year round and there is no charge for admission. The artist intends for the area adjacent to the temple to be a center of learning and meditation and for people to gain gain benefit from buddhist teachings. Kositpipat considers the temple to be an offering to Lord Buddha and believes the project will give him immortal life.

We arrived the Golden Triangle and have lunch at Rim Kong restaurant where is near the Mekong river. We took time for lunch about one hour Then we continued to visit the Golden Triangle area. When we arrived there, we were  waiting for the boats  to take us to visit that place on the Mekong River. Waiting around 5 minutes, the tour guide called us to get on the boats.  The tour boats took us  to visit it along the river. Then we visited Laos. We spent one and half hours to buy something's or go around to visit the small market of Laos. I bought scarves and bag for my wife and daughter. After that we continued to visit the supper market until 5:30p
