The Golden Triangle

Last stop in Thailand: Chiang Rai is a smaller version of Chiang Mai without the traffic. It's at the south end of the Golden Triangle in the border area between Thailand (check), Myanmar (check), and Laos, where I'll be tomorrow. The attraction here is nature, with waterfalls, forests, mountains, and rivers, but this time it's just a convenient stop on the way to Chiang Khong at the border.
