This elephant and golden Buddha is on the Thai side of the Golden Triangle. We rented a speed boat near here.
This is where we stayed while
visiting the Golden Triangle. (Thailand, Burma and Laos)

The Mekong River is in the background.
We took a speed boat to Laos.
One of the many shops in Laos.
One of the shops gave out samples of rice wine with different animals in the jar. Sasha and I tried a rice wine with no creatures in it. The rice wine was excellent.
Does this make you want a glass of rice
wine?
Geckos in rice wine.
The man standing behind Sasha was our driver from Chang Rai to Chang Mai. He was a great driver. He knew many great places to visit. And we never worried about getting from one place to another. It's the "only" way to go. I wouldn't want to drive on the left side of the street in heavy city traffic.
