We traveled to the edge of Thailand today. There is an Akha village there that is part of a royal project to plant coffee beans as an alternative to opium production. The coffee is very good.
The border is only 2 km away from the village, and this area is known as a cross-over point. There is nothing but a bit of barbed wire and low bamboo fencing to divide the two countries. The bathrooms were very clean, and I found the bamboo chutes for the men particularly charming. You can urinate overlooking Burma.
