The view from a short hill climb nearby Chiang Saen is a splendid landscape of where the three nations meet (Laos, Myanmar, and Thailand).

Here, you can visit the Akha village and see local villagers dressed in traditional dresses that provide a glimpse of the tribal life. White Karen and Red Karen hill tribe villages can be reached by a joyful boat trip. The Red Karen village is famous for its' elephant trainers who dwell along the Thai-Burmese border.
