What you can expect

Cruise the Mekong River for a spectacular view of three nations converging in a single place. Witness life among the Hmong Kew Karn hill tribe and the magnificence of the Mekong giant catfish as well as the grandeur of the abandoned city of Chiang Saen on your journey through northern Thailand.

Begin your adventure at the heart of the Golden Triangle, where the Mekong and Ruak rivers converge to form the borders between Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand. Cruise the Mekong River and witness life of the different nations right across the borders.

After your cruise, head over to ancient Chiang Saen, a city abandoned for more than 100 years and recently revived. See the grand double city walls and antiquities from the city's history. Rest your feet and satisfy your craving with a delicious native lunch for a taste of Thai culture.

Move on to experience the rustic atmosphere of the Hmong Kew Karn hill tribe. Continue your drive along the Mekong River for a scenic view before crossing the border to Chiang Kong. See the home of the Pla Buek, a giant freshwater catfish that can grow up to 660 pounds (300 kg) at adulthood. You can attempt to capture one depending on the season.
