Day Trip To Chiang Rai (or rather, The Golden Triangle)

On Friday we paid 1000Baht each for a 1-day trip to Chiang Rai and a few other destinations nearby.

Our tour van came to pick us first, then picked a couple of Dutch from Orchid Thai Hotel,

Orchid Thai Hotel

and another couple (American+Canadian) from Novotel Hotel (forgot to snap a pic of the hotel).

The itinerary is something like this: Hot Springs -> Temple -> Chiang Rai/Golden Triangle -> Mae Sai (Northern-most tip of Thailand, bordering with Myanmar) -> Hill Tribe -> Chiang Mai.

First stop, at the hotspring, where a lady there managed to get me to agree to buy the quail's eggs to be cooked in the hotspring.

Looking at our eggs in the hotspring! Sulphur-flavored?!
