Myanma : Chiangtung and MongLa

September 2007 , me and my friend have plan to visit Myanma, to the Chiangtung and Mongla City. We post at web trekkingthai for find 2 friends who want to go and share expenses about car rental and guide. We go Chaingrai north of thai by bus and reach Chaingrai about 7.00 and we go the checkpoint of thai and cross the bridge to Myanma state. Our guide wait us at the checkpoint of Myanma. His name is Mr.Sai Long, he help us about information to go his country.
Then he bring us to his car. All our trip we use this car and Mr.Sai Long take care us very thing. He take information about every checkpoint on the way. The car run cross many mountain, the side is mountain and the farm rice. There is pure nature. First day he drive car long way to go MongLa , Mongla is city closer with China, that place is casino city, food animal and prostitute. I dont like this city but it ok for spend one day for see the diffirent place.



Mong La city you will see the Chade Jinda stand on the mountain in the middle town. The Myanma Buddhism and stly is very sweet and beautiful. Chade Jinda in the night is very beautiful like big gold Chade. At the Chade you can see view around town.



We check in to stay in the hotel. Our guide tell us about at the night time will have somebody to knock the door. He said dont open the door cause the woman who want service sex they knock the door for find the customer. And yes i hear that all night.

Next morning we leave MongLa to go Chiangtung. Chiangtung in the past is land of Thailand. But about something problem in the past, we lose this place to Myanma. I love Chiangtung , here is very nice city with pure culture. Here have about 100 temples. Our guide take us to see the temple around town.
