Chiang Saen is one of my favourite riverside Thai towns. With lots of activity as goods arrive and leave to China, Laos, and Myanmar via its busy port. Many old temples to explore and every night I would have dinner of Mekong fish from one of the many barbecue vendors along its riverside promenade. it’s a great place to stay a few days and just relax. You can view Chiang Saen’s location here.
