Travel Guide Tachileik

Located in the Golden Triangle, totally east of the Shan State, Tachileik is a border town with neighboring Thailand. Here the baht, the Thai currency, is widely accepted. And travellers here move from one country to another, from one culture to another, but also from one cuisine to another. The stalls reveal their local colours, tastes and smells. But also cultural accessories or spiritual objects of the Shan State. We can never say it enough: the visit of any town around the world begins at the time when one gets lost in the alleys of its market. It should be noted that the markets of the region are unfortunately known for the resale of products resulting from poaching, but also the strongholds of Chinese counterfeiting. Having said that, the Tachileik market remains one of its major points of interest, especially if one is interested in local products
