Burma Border Run 7 - Mae Sai Swimmers



We went back into Thailand, then went to check out the riverside guest houses for lunch. Our Lonely Planet book says about the guest house in the picture,

Unfortunately, the great river views are overshadowed by a general lack of upkeep. If you stay here, pay close attention to how to find your way in and out, and pray that your hut hangs on just one more night.




We ended up almost under the border crossing bridge at a table on the water's edge, watching these kids enjoy themselves all through our lunch. This river separates Thailand and Burma. Campbell Creek is deeper and just as wide. Who says you need money to have fun?



They dove in here on this side, then floated down the river and came quickly back to dive in again.
