Northern Thailand Adventure
Mountains, Rivers and Temples
6th to 27th November 2012Day 11 (16.11.12) Mae Sariang - a day trip to Mae Sam Laep (45km)
?
After a good pork and egg porridge breakfast opposite our Mit A Ree Hotel, we walked to the morning market and took the songthaew (B80pp) to Mae Samlaep, a river border village on the Thai side. The road journey took us 1.5 hrs on a dusty winding hilly road. The other side of the river is Myanmar. We then hired a boat to take us upstream on the Salawin River for an hour which cost us B600 and if you wish to visit the village further up would be B1,300. We returned to Mae Sariang on the same songthaew at 12.30 pm and took a rest before walking out at 4.30pm to the Museum and two temples. We were surprised that the beautiful museum building has nothing to display and not in used. We had dinner at Inthira Rastaurant again.
Sleeping: Mit A Ree Hotel at B400 a/c room for 2pax
Day 12 (17.11.12) Mae Sariang ? Mae Sot (232km)
Getting to Mae Sot about 230km from Mae Sariang was actually suffering in happiness ? a 5 and a half hour ride on a songtaew starting at 9.30am and arriving at 3pm. There was no lunch break or wee-wee break except upon request. We had 3 border police check along this mountainous road. We passed by a large Burmese Karen refugee camp along the road. Evening we had KFC for dinner and walked around the town and the Saturday night market beside the Mae Sot Police station.
Sleeping: Baan Tung Guesthouse at B500 a/c room for 2 and B150 for additional bed
