It was a very well organized trip, excellent tour guide and we enjoyed our day. We visited the tribes village and the tea farms, tour chiang Sean to border of Myanmar. The lunch was very delicious and as requested it was a Halal Muslim restaurant. We did a visit to golden triangle and the opium house. The tour guide (Sandy) was very passionate, helpful and caring.
