1- For just a small fee you will enjoy a boat ride across the mighty Mae Khong River to Don Sao Island. There are no permanent buildings here (just a few stalls selling souveniers, etc), however, you will be able to say that you have set foot in the Lao People's Democratic Republic (Laos).

OR

A subgroup of the Karen tribe, they are refugees from Myanmar who are proud of their traditions, proud of their women's beauty due to the golden rings worn around their necks and proud to be self-sufficient because of tourist revenue and therefore not in need of government financial assistance.
