We went there for 1999 days in 3 with my wife and her then 7 year old daughter who did not yet speak a word about the Thai border as an introductory tour. She is now 24 years old. Very nice area and spend the night in the P guesthouse for thb.180 per room. With a view of the wooden bridge with the setting sun, really beautiful there. Across the bridge next to the Burmese temple is a covered market with cheap handmade local products. Villagers all with yellow talcum powder on their faces. Overall a very nice experience and hardly any tourists
thanks for the nice video
