I have a series of shots of these fishermen, but this one won out because of the reflections. If I remember correctly, about 90% of Myanmar's produce is grown on the lake.

One of my favourite street markets in Asia was the small, one-street market in Kalaw, Myanmar. It might have had something to do with the fact that, yes, those are normal pineapple-sized pineapples, but no, those are not normal sized avocados. #guacamole4lyfe #market

The Mekong is a trans-boundary river in Southeast Asia. It is the world's 12th-longest river and the 7th-longest in Asia. Its estimated length is 4,350 km (2,703 mi), and it drains an area of 795,000 km2 (307,000 sq mi), discharging 475 km3 (114 cu mi) of water annually. From the Tibetan Plateau the river runs through China's Yunnan Province, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. In 1995, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam established the Mekong River Commission to assist in the management and coordinated use of the Mekong's resources. In 1996 China and Myanmar became "dialogue partners" of the MRC and the six countries now work together within a cooperative framework. The extreme seasonal variations in flow and the presence of rapids and waterfalls in the Mekong make navigation difficult. Even so, the river is a major trade route between western China.

Chiang Saen

The entrance to Chiang Dao Cave is surrounded by Buddhist symbols and crystal clear blue waters filled with rather large koi and catfish. The entrance fee for the caves is 40 baht, but i recommend hiring a guide with a lantern to take you a bit deeper into this amazing place. A guide currently costs 200baht (plus tip) and is worth every bit of it. Watch your head and step! #Trovember #Thailand #ChiangDao #solotravel

Ban Rak Thai in Mae Hong Son, Thailand 🇹🇭 is a little odd. It’s a Chinese village in Thailand, with traditional Chinese architecture and attractions clustered around a lovely lake in a secluded valley. #LifeAtExpediaGroup
