We were able to enter Burma, Tachilek District. 🇲🇲 When we crossed the border, the first thing we saw was a row of Burmese tuk-tuks waiting for tourists to call for their services. On the side, there was a market. Most of them were clothes and brand-name knockoffs. The market was similar to the one in Thailand. It was hot, so we just walked around but didn't buy anything. 🇲🇲 We walked back to the first spot where the tuk-tuks were parked. There was a driver who came to sell a tour to 4 places for 200 baht / 2 people. We were interested, so we agreed. 🇲🇲 It was my first time riding a Burmese tuk-tuk. I was very excited. Some roads were good, some were gravel. It was scary going up hills, wondering if the driver would be able to make it. But in the end, we were able to go to all the places on the tour. 🇲🇲 The first place on the program was Wat Phra Chao Rakhang, or as the Burmese call it, Wat Tai Yai. The decorations were similar to temples in northern Thailand. When we went, there must have been some kind of ceremony. We saw locals wearing white and bringing food to make merit all over the church. 🇲🇲 The second place was a replica of Shwedagon Pagoda. Normally, the real pagoda is located in Yangon, but the one in Tachileik is a replica and a smaller version. However, the worship is still based on the real one. For those who are not convenient to travel, you can worship here as a way to make a wish. 🇲🇲 The third place was the White Jade Temple, but the temple itself was green. The architecture is similar to Indian idols. It is not a very big temple. We went inside to pay homage, there was no one there. 🇲🇲 The 4th place is a noodle shop located at the entrance to the Shwedagon Pagoda replica. At that time, it was almost noon. We ordered dry noodles. The shop served noodles with pickled vegetables and soup. We tried putting pickled vegetables in the noodles, mixing them together, and tasting it. It was delicious. The taste was similar to our local Nam Ngiaw, a bit sour. But overall, it was good. This shop was full of customers. The driver recommended it, but I can't remember the name of the shop. 🇲🇲 After visiting all 4 places according to the program, he drove a tuk-tuk to drop us off at the same spot, which was the market where we got on the car at first. This trip was worth it. It only took half a day, but we visited 4 places in Burma.

Another tourist attraction in Tachileik Province, Burma, is just as beautiful as in our country.

For those who are into spiritualism, don't miss it. Traveling to make merit abroad, it only takes 5 minutes to get there. Cross the border at Mae Sai, Chiang Rai Province. Make a temporary crossing form for 30 baht at the Mae Sai District Office. Once you've done it, go cross the border. It's not far to Myanmar. When you arrive in Myanmar, there will be people selling tours to take you to see the temple. If you go with a large group, it's convenient. But if you're a bit adventurous, the temples are in the same area, not too far away. You can walk all the way. I recommend saving the map first because there's not much of a signal once you cross. #TravelMyanmar

The night atmosphere in Tachilek, Burma, bordering Thailand, is the northernmost part of Siam, or Mae Sai District, Chiang Rai Province. This place is called Harry Potter or Harry Potter or Harry Tachilek, where there are both night owls who usually sleep during the day and wake up at night, often gathering in groups with the golden light that shines brightly, as if it had never slept before. Sometimes, when the weather starts to get hot, we can go down to the magnificent hall, which stands tall like a wave of humans, because there are people everywhere, jumping on road tents, having fun in this pub. #Tachilek #HarryPotter #Harry Tachilek
