We took a 3-4 hours drive from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai, but didn’t get as far as the Kwei River Bridge.
That’s in between?
Yes, we abandoned the idea of travelling to the border to see the Bridge over River Kwei, which will take at least four hours one way.
A sound decision. At any rate, I understand it’s not the real bridge but a reconstruction. (I may wrong)
Timber bridge completed in early 1943 was quickly replaced with steel ones in the same years. Bridge was bombed and damaged in WWII. Portions of lines abandoned. The history is not clear. I think the surrounding is also nice.
Interesting. Probably worth another trip. 🙂
We also missed it from going the Myanmar side recently
Can’t do it all. You will have to come back.
Need to combine with something else to make it a worthwhile trip.
Thailand must certainly be warmer than here, right now.
I thought you meant Chiang Mai… 😉

Chiang Mai / Chinag Rai are still up in their thirties; except on the high hills.
Oh yes. The hills. Hadn’t thought of that. Must be cooler. Nicer?
Yes, cooler and nicer than other parts of Thailand.
