Chinese shipping at Chiang Saen
Mar 21, 2009
After I returned to Maine, Jim hitched to the small historical town of Chiang Saen, one of his favorite Thai towns, which is a major port for trade between China and Thailand. It lies along the south bank of the Mae Khong in the Golden Triangle, so many tourists go there. He went there at the end of March during his walk-about in northern Thailand before heading home.
Chiang Khong is another charming small town on the Mae Khong. Many tourists come here to cross the river to Laos. It's another one of his favorite places in Thailand.
