After the initial confusion crossing the border we finally got checked into our hotel and decided to explore as to how far we would be allowed around Tachilek.
The Golden Cherry Hotel, pretty comfortable and right next to the bike event.
After leaving town we crossed through one check point without any drama, we stumbled upon this unusual new Wat being constructed.
Temporary bamboo Wat while construction takes place.
This lady was casting mouldings for the Wat using latex, pretty smelly job.
Smiling faces all around here we found a school for monk's and the boy's enjoying a game of football.
The next easterly checkpoint was as far as we could go and was politely asked to turned around.
We doubled back at went north, interesting faces and features along the way.
The Wat's showing a very different architecture to what we see in Thailand.
Turning south past the small airport back to town we crossed over a very fast flowing river with floating eating rafts.
So many interesting Wat's in the area.
Reaching town the local market and faces.
Short but sweet a very interesting town, total contrast to Thailand in many ways.
