Golden Triangle & White Temple Day Tour

Discover the Meeting Point of Three Countries

Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime journey to the northernmost edge of Thailand, where borders meet and cultures intertwine. The Golden Triangle is where Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar converge — a region steeped in history and known for its dramatic landscapes and storied past.

Flowing through this region is the legendary Mekong River, one of Asia’s longest and most important waterways. An optional boat trip along the Mekong lets you glide past rural riverbanks and even step briefly into Laos, offering a unique international experience without leaving the tour.
