In the afternoon, we drove to the northernmost town of Thailand - Mae Sai. Mae Sai is only one narrow river apart from Burma's Tachelik. It allows travlers to obtain visa at the border to enter Burma here. Though we were not really interested in visiting Burma (and I heard Tachelik is not really interesting), we eventually made the crossing to another country I had never been to.

The border bridge. It is Burma on the other side.
The sign showing: The northernmost point of Thailand. I hadn't passed Thai custom (leaving Thailand) at this point.
You can see how narrow Mae Sai River is. I guess you can even throw a package across the river, from Burma to Thailand. 很難想像這小水溝就這樣劃分了兩個經濟實力差蠻多的國家。
This is the small river that divide Thailand and Burma. can you believe it?
Possibly the only interesting thing in Tachelik, Burma. This golden pagoda is a miniature version of a huge pagoda in Yangon, the Burmese capital. 這可能是緬甸的大其力唯一比較可看的建築了。不過此佛塔的"原版"在仰光。
On my way, leaving from Thailand to Burma, in the middle of the Bridge. 站在緬甸及泰國間之三不管地帶。
Not really special at all. But you can find a lot of pirate DVD here (all made in China) 沒什麼特別的,若不是因為這是另一個國家,我可能會蠻後悔浪費了一堆錢及時間來這裡玩。
